Seoul Day 1 (part 2)

Next we have Gyeongbokgung Palace. Here's some exterior shots of the front gate.









As you go through the gate.
The stream that flows through the center of the courtyard.

Looking through the second gate.
Going through the second gate.
I'm usually in the way.

The throne room.


The man-made pond.
Where the crown prince would study and contemplate rule.


Views of the administrative buildings behind the throne room.




Where a Korean princess was murdered by Japanese assassins in 1895.
Really a great little spot, no wonder it was her favorite part of the palace.
Some sort of residence for the King's mother I think.
The stream throughout the palace.

That'll be all for tonight, I'll post some more tomorrow.
