Gyeongbok Palace, a royal palace in Seoul, will offer a special guided tour of its marquee pavilion overlooking a beautiful pond, starting next month, cultural authorities said Tuesday.
Seoul isn t just about hearing K-pop at local hotspots or strolling around Gyeongbok Palace donning rented hanbok. There are also vast cultural options for people to eat, experience and learn. These options aren t widely popular or easy to spot on streets. Rather, even many local Koreans aren t familiar with some of these cultural activities, including: visiting a rare hanok house with outstanding views of Seoul, a high-end restaurant serving only temple food and hidden hiking routes around the centuries-old city wall or around a royal palace.
