Step Back in Time: Exploring Gyeongbok Palace and Tongin Market in Seoul

By Truc H.

Come with me as I explore Gyeongbok Palace and Tongin Market! At Gyeongbok Palace, I was captivated by the grandeur and historical significance of each architectural detail, while also being delighted by the sight of visitors dressed in traditional hanbok. Despite missing the changing of the guards ceremony, I left with a promise to return for this iconic event. Transitioning to Tongin Market, I embarked on a culinary adventure, sampling hearty teokmanduguk and flavorful gogi mandu with chives. Overall, my day in Seoul was a delightful blend of history, culture, and culinary exploration, leaving me eager to return and uncover more of the city's treasures.
