Gwanghwamun

#summervacay Gwanghwamun is the main gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace, Seoul’s grandest royal palace. Located at the north end of Sejong-ro in Jongno District, it’s an enduring symbol of Korean sovereignty and architectural elegance. Built in 1395 during King Taejo’s founding of Joseon, its name means Destroyed during the Japanese invasions (Imjin War, 1592–1598) and migrated/remodeled multiple times during colonial rule and the Korean War . #couplestrip #citydaytours #myitinerary #naturalwonders

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip Cronut (croissant x donut) specialty store This shop serves "cronuts," which are croissant dough deep-fried like donuts and stuffed with plenty of cream and fillings. They have a wide variety of flavors, including vanilla melon, orange, banana cream, injeolmi (roasted soybean flour), blueberry, hazelnut Nutella, lotus, and black sesame. There were about four seats for eating outside! I got takeout and enjoyed it with coffee at home ☕️ I happened to go at night, so I got a 20% discount during the closing sale ♡ 📍Dessert Planet D Tower Store 🏠112-113, 1st floor, 17 Jongno 3-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul 🕰️8:00-21:30 Weekends 9:00-21:30 #KoreaTrip #SeoulTrip #KoreanCafe #KoreanCafeHop #Gwanghwamun
