Chuseok Holiday: Part 2

Over the Chuseok Holiday, I also visited the palaces. 

• Built in 1395, Gyeongbokgung Palace is also referred to as the “Northern Palace” because it is located more toward the north, compared to the neighboring palaces of Changdeokgung (Eastern Palace) and Gyeongheegung (Western Palace).\
• The premises were destroyed by fire at the time of the Japan's occupation of Korea during 1592-1598. However, all of the palace's 7,700 rooms were later restored under the leadership of Heungseondaewongun in the years of King Gojong (1852~1919) .  
• The National Palace Museum of Korea and the National Folk Museum are also located very close to the palaces.
