Gyeongbukgong Palace, Seoul

[wigz]

An interesting place but very crowded on this day. If you wear a hanbok (traditional korean dress) you are admitted free and everywhere you looked there were people in hanbok having there photos taken. This made photography difficult.

It was originally completed in 1395 but has been destroyed and rebuilt several times since. It's a huge complex with many buildings.
