[2025 Seoul Attraction] Travel Guide for Gyeonghuigung Palace (Updated Jul)

Gyeonghuigung Palace, located in the west of Seoul, is also one of the major palaces. Gyeonghuigung Palace, which was designed flexibly to fit the terrain, was actually more magnificent in the past. Now, it houses Sungjeongjeon, a building where official events are held, Jajeongjeon, a place for official duties, and Seonam, a large rock. The major tourist attractions nearby, such as the Seoul Museum of History and the National Meteorological Museum, are also great places to study history!! #HistoryTravel #SeoulHotPlacesToVisitInSeoul #Palace #PalaceTour #HistoricalRelics

#SeoulTravel 📍Seoul Jongno-gu Sinmunro 2-ga Gyeonghuigungji This is Gyeonghuigungji located in Saeanmun-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul. The reason I recommend this place is that it is less well-known than Gyeongbokgung Palace or Changdeokgung Palace, but it is a quiet and less crowded street that is perfect for a walk. Gyeonghuigung Park, quietly located between modern buildings in downtown Seoul, is a public park built in the late Joseon Dynasty and was visited by the 15th king of Joseon, King Gwanghaegun. After passing the main gate, Heunghwamun, you can leisurely feel the royal atmosphere of the Joseon Dynasty while looking around the neat stone path and high-rise buildings. Also, if you go up, there is a basketball court and a walking path, so it seems that many local residents also use it. I recommend Gyeonghuigungji, a great travel destination for taking pictures with the palace in the background. #Gyeonghuigung #SeoulPalaces #SeoulTravelRecommendations #PlacesToVisitGwanghwamun #EmotionalWalkingRoad #SeoulHistoryTravel

#OutdoorDate 📍Seoul Jongno-gu Sinmunro 2-ga Gyeonghuigungji A quiet date at Gyeonghuigungji, a time travel in the city Even in the complex city, there is a hometown space where time seems to have stopped for a moment. Gyeonghuigungji is a place where people are not crowded between Gwanghwamun and Seochon, and where the beauty of sunlight and trees and traditions are combined. This is the last building from the Joseon Dynasty, and now it is a perfect place to enjoy a quiet date with a quiet walking path and quiet scenery. Just walking slowly along the stone wall road and sitting side by side under the shade of the trees and talking will make a special day. If you are a couple who likes taking pictures, don't miss the photo zone where the tiles of the palace and the blue sky come together. Also, when you look at the zelkova tree that is over 380 years old, you can feel the positivity toward life that has lived since the Joseon Dynasty. If you want a quiet and atmospheric date, I recommend Gyeonghuigungji. #Gyeonghee Palace #Seoul Palace #City Walk #Seoul Outdoor Date #Palace Walk #Tranquil Scenery #Seoul Photo Spot #Emotional Walk

Have an outdoor date here, where Joseon Dynasty history is alive. #Travel #PlacesToVisitInSeoul #Gyeonghuigung #SeoulDate #HistoricalExploration

#JanuaryTravelSupportEvent #TravelPlan #2024WishEvent The Tranquility of Winter Alone at Gyeonghee Palace Yesterday (February 18th) afternoon, I stepped into the wide courtyard of Gyeonghee Palace. As I walked on the snow-covered grass in front of Sungjeongjeon, the second palace of Joseon, I felt like I was walking in the footsteps of the king from 300 years ago. While reading the sign, the security guard told me, "There are traces of Heunghwamun Gate, which is under restoration at the end of the west wall." As a bonus, I discovered a stone from the 1890s revealed between the stone steps! 📌 Perfect point even alone Hidden spot: Pine forest bench behind Sungjeongjeon → A great place to read a book in silence Historical experience: Imagine the Joseon royal life inside the restored Sujeongjeon Recommendation: Recharge your energy with Injeolmi Bingsu (8,500 won) at the entrance of Gyeonghuigung Palace 'Gungbingsu' 🚨 Notes Closed on Tuesdays (Open from Wednesday to Monday 09:00~18:00) No entry into the restoration area (security guards should be careful) Be careful of slipping when the winter lawn is frozen At 5 o'clock, the sunset poured down on the stone building ruins. I held up my phone camera with the golden Heunghwamun restoration site in the background, and the security guard smiled and said, "It's even prettier when it's open at night in the spring." Next time, I plan to visit and take pictures around the time the cherry blossoms bloom! 🌸 #koreatrip #Gyeonghuigung #korea

#0yentripJanuary2025 [Gyeonghuigung Palace] 🕰️Opening hours: 0900-1800 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: ◯ 📍Location: 45 Saemunan-ro, Jongno District, Seoul, Korea 💰Price per person: 0~ 💞Reasons for recommendation: Unlike the hustle and bustle of Gwanghwamun, it was a quiet space🤍 There weren't many people and it was free to enter‼︎ I thought it was good to go as a set with the history museum behind it so you could understand the historical background😁 There were almost no people there when I went on a Sunday, but it was worth going as it was worth seeing and it was one of the 5 royal palaces🥺

It is a palace located on the way from Gwanghwamun intersection to Seodaemun. It is not well known compared to Gyeongbokgung Palace or Deoksugung Palace. There are even some people who do not know that Gyeonghuigung Palace is a palace of Joseon Dynasty. That is understandable, as it is a palace with an unfortunate history that was destroyed in order to restore Gyeongbokgung Palace. They are working hard to restore it, but complete restoration is far away. It is regrettable, and regrettable again. #2025OverseasTravelEvent
