A visit to Gyeongbokgung Palace is a dive into Korea's past, away from the hectic modern life of the city, into the quietness of the Palace gardens and palace buildings.
The palace grounds of Gyeongbokgung have an almost rectangular shape. Once inside, the noise of the city is left behind the gate, and I fell directly into a performance of the guards of the palace. Although they looked pretty menacing, they could even be approached and inspected from up close. From here, I started walking around the quite large area, visiting the highlights, including several temples, residences of the royal family, pavilions on quiet ponds. One of the interesting sights were the chimneys in the garden behind the Queen's residence, which were used as an outlet for smoke of the floorheating of the building.
