One of the most amazing thing in Seoul is that the Old historic Palaces have been well preserved. I’d like to introduce Gyeong Bok Goong (景福宮) Palace today.
Gyeong Bok means Happiness and Fortune for King and king’s people. Goong is palace.
I had a meeting with my friend before visiting Gyeong Bok Goong. We took a lunch and decided to look around Geyong Bok Goong together.
On the way to Palace, there was a traditional building. There was no front board for the name, so I couldn’t know name of this building. But it looked like a commanding post office to keep the palace. There must be a general.
When entering into the Palace, we heard some voices of militarary training. It looked weird for me. Traditional martial art in the palace was hard to understand for me. I thought they were preparing for movie at first. I asked them. They told me that that was preparation of a performance for the tourists. They were very serious, repeated several times.
As passing through them, There was a Main gate of the palace. I took a photo from inside, so I could not take a photo of the front board of this main gate. There were 3 paths in the main gate. The center was only for King. People need to use right path to enter the palace. They must walk on the right side.
I will post on this main gate next time.
To enter the Palace, you need to pass inner main gate in name of Heung Yeh Moon(興禮問). That means ‘flourish courtesy or propriety’.
It is not easy to explain Yeh(禮) in English. It could be translated as etiquette also. It seems that this word means 'manner', it contains very wide spectrum. Basically it means the rule or principle to keep as a human being.
From the Heung Yeh Moon, it starts real king's palace of Gyeong Bok Goong.
bro I really need you tonight for my new post about Jakarta under dutch government.
please help me bro @slowwalker.
I need you
😥

What so important about the post? Just curious.
a very impressive main gate to the palace, @slowwalker!
It's an impressive construction with a double pagoda style of architecture and three oval openings reminiscent of Moon Gates.
Outside the palace is the command post and martial arts training, but not for battle as would be the case in the past, but now for the tourist trade.
The most gratifying aspect of theses photos is to see the past so well preserved despite being surrounded by modern construction.
A nation that forgets its past is like a man with amnesia. Fortunately, the ancient palaces around Seoul are being cared for and their presence contributes to the beauty and allure of the city.
Perhaps the word, 'Yeh' in the title of the palace gate can also be taken to mean respect for the past and preserving the sacred vestiges of our origins - that is an aspect of manners or etiquette that is at the basis of our humanity and reminds us of where we have been.
Theses photos are strikingly beautiful @slowwalker. It's encouraging to learn about culture and history and to see it being carefully preserved and in some cases, restored.
A good post, my friend.

I'm hopefully going to be visiting South Korea and Japan next summer, I find the culture so fascinating, particularly in regards to fashion and streetwear. It's such a thriving economy!
There was no war serious to destroy everything like Korean war. So they could preserve historical spot to visit.
Your plan to visit Japan is excellent
@slowwalker, love to see another traveller documenting their visits. We were at Seoul 10 years ago and we need to go again to visit this place to watch the military training. Upoted and followed.
Thank you so much and nice to meet you here in Steemit.
I think it is amazing we meet and talk like this
Yes, it is fantastic that platform can bring like minded people together. I am new and still not very good finding comments and replies but when I get a chance to, I want to reply steemians.
How spectacular the King's Palace Gyeong Bok Goong ! always like your post , thanks !
I hardly believe my eyes. An old historical palace is standing side by side with the very modern buildings. What a fantastic view!
Now that you mentioned about the martial arts, I believe many historical Korean dramas (sageuk)use this kind of palace as their setting.
That palace and those people are full of culture and history, that's what I love
Awesome post! Nice to learn a bot about other places of the world.

@slowwalker I like your submit. I have followed you.
@slowwalker Masses of knowledge. Many thanks..
What amazing structures, it's quite strange when you take the picture of the main gate far away - and you see the modern tower block building behind - the two do not seem like they should be seen together.
Very beautiful palace!)) I would never have thought that in the world there is such beauty. I want to Seoul)))) Thank you my friend, that showed this amazing place))))
