Namsangol Hanok Village is a collection of five hanoks (traditional Korean houses) from the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), recovered from different parts of the city and relocated to the northern foot of Namsan (Mt.). The interiors of each of these five houses reflect owners from different walks of life, from the middle class to the yangban (who were mainly high government officials, noblemen and aristocrats).

Seoul's most-popular show is Nanta. Each year, an estimated 380,000 foreign visitors enjoy the award-winning performance! One reason why Nanta is popular is because it doesn't rely on language. Instead, it uses the universality of music and motion to excite audiences. The music combines traditional Korean folk rhythms with modern beats and the fun storyline. There?셲 so much to see, hear and even do that Nanta should be a lot of fun for the whole family!
Hours of Operation
Shows run nightly at 17:00 and 20:00; Additional 14:00 show on Saturdays.

The palace was located at the heart of newly appointed capital of Seoul and represented the sovereignty of the Joseon Dynasty. The largest of the Five Grand Palaces (the others being Gyeonghuigung, Deoksugung, Changgyeonggung, Changdeokgung), Gyeongbokgung served as the main palace of the Joseon Dynasty.

Of Seoul's five royal palaces from the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), Gyeongbokgung (Palace) is the largest. To help recreate what life was like during Korea's royal era, visitors can experience a change of the royal guards at the entrance of Gwanghwamun (Gate) throughout the year.
Once the bell is rung, the ceremony begins! The bright colors, beautiful outfits, and the bold banners and flags combine to make the elaborate ceremony a favorite event among visitors to Seoul. When the reenactments started in 1996, the original records were reviewed to ensure that today's ceremony honors the traditional one. In fact, there are actually two different ceremonies - one marks the opening and closing ceremony of the royal gate, while the other signifies the changing of the guards.
|
|
|
Note: The ceremony does not take place on Tuesdays, when Gyeongbokgung (Palace) is closed. Generally, the Opening/Closing ceremony occurs between 10:00~15:00 from March to June and September to November. The Changing of the Guard ceremony occurs January to February, July, August and December between 10:00~16:00.
