Next, visit the serene Jogyesa Temple, the heart of Zen Buddhism in Korea. Stroll through its tree-lined grounds, explore its ancient white pine and locust trees, and experience tranquility as you step through the symbolic "Iljumun" gate into the spiritual world of Buddha.

Gyeongbokgung Palace
Your journey begins at Gwanghwamun Gate, where the colorful Royal Guard Changing Ceremony brings the 600-year traditions of the Joseon Dynasty to life. Step inside Gyeongbokgung Palace, the grandest and most beautiful of Korea’s royal palaces, to wander through sweeping courtyards and imagine the regal lives of kings and queens. Highlights include Geunjeongjeon Hall, the heart of state affairs, and the serene Gyeonghoeru Pavilion, once a venue for royal banquets. Beyond its historical significance, Gyeongbokgung has gained global fame as a prime filming location for BTS music videos. Most notably, the March 2026 comeback performance showcased the palace’s architectural splendor to millions of viewers worldwide. As you explore these ornate halls, you are not just walking through history—you are standing on the very stage where global icons celebrated Korea's heritage, bridging the gap between the majestic past and a dynamic present (Please note: On Tuesdays, when Gyeongbokgung and the National Folk Museum are closed, the tour will instead visit Deoksugung Palace and the Presidential Blue House Museum.)

(Pass by ) The Presidential House
Have you heard about the Blue House? This is the Korean Presidential House. Did you know? The name comes from the translation of Cheong Wa Dae which means “pavilion of blue tiles.” On a clear day, you can admire the peak called Bukaksan located behind the Blue House. The view looks like a watercolor painting.
