After I got my Hanbok and makeover at Flowery Hanbok, off I went to the Gyeongbokgung Palace - the palace greatly blessed by heaven. Time to tick off my bucketlist! I was so excited and also somewhat nervous as I slowly made my way along towards the palace. 


The Gyeongbokgung Palace was established in 1395, 3 years after the Joseon Dynasty was founded by King Taejo. After its establishment, the capital of this new dynasty was moved from Gaesung to Hanyang (former name of Seoul) with the Gyeongbokgung Palace serving as the largest and main palace alongside with the other 4 grand palaces, namely: Gyeonghuigung Palace, Deoksugung Palace, Changgyeonggung Palace and Changdeokgung palace. 

I felt as if I just hopped onto a time machine when I stepped foot into the Gyeongbokgung Palace. Everything was so well preserved and every corner's so picturesque. I literally stood there for a good 5 minutes just to let everything sink in. It was so perfect to the extent that it's felt unreal.
