(pic Jordan Wooley) During summer in Seoul you can take a moonlight stroll through one of four enchanting royal palaces. Seoul’s royal palaces offer peaceful escape from the busy city streets as well as offering many activities for foreign visitors to enjoy. Moonlight tours are available through July & August at Gyeongbokgung and Changyeongung and continue through till November at the Changdeokgung Palace. Foreign visitors can not only enjoy the visual splendor of these palaces under moonlight, but can also enjoy the many activities that are held throughout the year. From special lectures on royal cuisine to traditional tea ceremonies to traditional music performances under moonlight this offers a great way for visitors to enjoy the beauty of the palaces and a special event. Every Saturday during June visitors can experience traditional Korean court music at Gyeongbokgung. There are regular performances by master musicians at Deoksugung Palace from June – September mostly on Thursday evenings. Have a true royal palace experience and try on a royal costume to take some great photos to send back home with the Costume Experience program at Gyeongbokgung Palace. At Changdeokgung Palace (above) early in summer there is traditional Korean chamber music. You can also take a guided tour of the Secret Garden and Nakseonjae Hall which are great photographic subjects. Aside from the royal palaces there is the royal shrine of Jongmyo Jeryeak where ancestral music is performed, along with a commentary every Saturday in June. Visiting one of Seoul’s royal palaces is a must while in Seoul, there are minimal entrance fee costs, depending on the palace and most activities are free. Two or three of the free guided tours are conducted in English each day. Check out the complete schedule online.......... |
