Seoul, South Korea - Day 3

We spent the whole day at Everland Theme Park.. Although most of the rides is for kids, it's still worth it to visit Everland once you in Korea.. As we came in December, it's Christmas season, all Xmas decorations were up, and all of them were well decorated..

(The Giant Tree, full of Christmas ornament) 

(Pororo! The performance itself was in Korean, I understand nothing! Lol)

This cable car will bring you to the other part of the park..

Here are some pics of their day parade, it's super beautiful. It's really amazing!!

Look at their night parade, called Moonlight Parade! It's also beautiful, full of colourful light..

  

And of course, it won't be complete without fireworks show..

Seoul, South Korea - Day 2

We were visiting palaces on the 2nd day..

The most famous palace is Gyeongbokgung Palace, and Changdeokgung Palace which located near to each other.

1). Gyeongbokgung Palace

      Getting there : By Subway, Line 3 Gyeongbokgung, Exit 5.

       Opening hours : 09:00-17:00 (Closed on Tuesday)

There will be Royal Guard Changing Ceremony performance 3 times a day, with 20min performance duration. Performance is every 10am, 1pm and 3pm daily (except Tue).

2). Changdeokgung

      Getting there: Anguk Station Line 3 (Exit 3).

Here are some pics I took around the palaces :



In front of Gyeongbokgung Palace, there is King Sejong Statue. He's most well-known for Hangul, the Korean writing system.

Not far from King Sejong Statue, there is Admiral Yi Sun-sin statue. He's Korean Naval Commander respected for his battles against the invading Japanese



Admiral Yi’s statue is surrounded by some water fountains and plants.

After we visited the palaces and both famous statues, we were planning to go to Bukchon Hanok Village which is located between both palaces. However, we ended up walking along this street for more than 1 hour, struggling to find the village. The direction board is not that useful though..
