Built in 1395, Gyeongbokgung Palace continued to serve as the main palace until the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592 – 1598), when all of the palaces were severely damaged. It was not until about 1868 that the palace was reconstructed and expanded to a 410,000m² complex with over 500 buildings. It flourished for several decades in this state until the Japanese once again demolished the palaces during their occupation of Korea (1910-1945). The 40-year restoration project that aims to fully restore Gyeongbokgung Palace to its original form has been ongoing since 1990.

Bukchon Hanok Village was once a village of aristocrats long ago and its luxury tile roofed houses called giwas have been preserved since the Joseon Dynasty. Located in the middle of Gyeongbok Palace and Changdeok Palace, the village boasts 600 years of history in the region. Gwangjang Market is the nation’s first market and continues to thrive as popular tourist destnation today. The second floor of the market provides all of your silk, satin, and linen bed-sheet stores, which are the largest and most famous in Soeul.
