Since we didn't visit the historical places due to going to other places in Seoul, plus going to Japan in the middle of the trip (also, I was sick the entire trip, got better one month and a half after having been back home), we visited these during my second trip to Korea, last October/November.
We firstly visited Gyeongbokgung.
Gwanghwamun gate, taken during my first visit - I didn't take any picture of this gate during my second visit.
The Throne Room, called Geunjeongjeon
Inside the palace, there is The National Folk Museum of Korea, with an inside part and an outside part.
Celebrating the freedom of Korea, in 1945, after the occupation by Japan was over.
A few days later, we visited Changgyeonggung, which is bigger and more ancient.
The next day, we went to Deoksugung. The last king of Korea, Gojong, finished his life there after he had to abdicate in 1907, since Japan was taking control on Korea at this time - till Korea became a Japanese territory, from 1910 until 1945. Deoksugung is located next to the area of City Hall (hence the modern buildings next to the palace), and has some buildings inside, which were built in the end of the 19th century.
In one of the buildings/old offices, there were books, which were enlighten.. the lights were moving by themselves.
