The changing of the royal guards greeted us as we entered the palace gates on Wednesday. The largest of five palaces in Seoul, Gyeongbokgung Palace is extensive - even though only 35% remains of the original compound. The ancient structures are framed by tall buildings AND the mountains - providing a modern context, as well as a link to the past with nature ever present in the vistas. As seen in one of our photos - we could not resist taking a step back in time ourselves.
