点评:We stopped by Gyeongbokgung Palace as part of our city tour with Jessie at MySeoulTrip, primarily to watch the royal guard changing ceremony. It turned out to be one of the more memorable stops of the day and is definitely worth visiting if you're in Seoul.
We were informed that Gyeongbokgung is the largest and most significant of Seoul’s palaces, once serving as the main residence of the Joseon dynasty. If you’re planning to visit only one palace, this is the one to see. It’s centrally located with plenty to see.
We saw a lot of visitors wearing hanbok, Korea’s traditional attire. I can imagine that renting a hanbok enhances the experience and has the added benefit of waiving the entrance fee. It all adds to the palace’s charm and perhaps gives a glimpse of what it might have felt like centuries ago.
The guard changing ceremony is not to be missed. I'm a huge fan of tradition and long standing traditional rituals; watching the change of the guards was quite something.
For those visiting during the intense August humidity like we did, the on-site museums—the Palace Museum and the National Folk Museum—are air-conditioned, free to enter and offer a reprieve from the humidity.
Tip: Wear comfortable shoes for all the walking.
Gyeongbokgung Palace offers history, culture, and a sense of serenity. We enjoyed our visit and I believe most visitors will.
翻译:在与 MySeoulTrip 的 Jessie 一起游览首尔期间,我们顺路去了景福宫,主要是为了观看皇家卫兵换岗仪式。结果,这是当天最令人难忘的一站,如果你在首尔,绝对值得一游。
我们得知,景福宫是首尔规模最大、意义最重大的宫殿,曾是朝鲜王朝的主要住所。如果你只打算参观一座宫殿,那就去参观这座宫殿吧。它位于市中心,有很多可看的东西。
我们看到很多游客穿着韩国传统服饰韩服。我可以想象,租一套韩服可以提升体验,还免收门票。这一切都增加了宫殿的魅力,或许还能让人一瞥几个世纪前的感觉。
卫兵换岗仪式不容错过。我非常喜欢传统和历史悠久的传统仪式;观看卫兵换岗仪式是一次难忘的经历。
对于像我们一样在 8 月湿度极高的时候来访的游客来说,现场博物馆——故宫博物院和国立民俗博物馆——都装有空调,可免费进入,让您远离潮湿。
提示:走路时请穿舒适的鞋子。
景福宫拥有历史、文化和宁静的感觉。我们很享受这次参观,我相信大多数游客也会喜欢。
