Some Tourist Attractions of Seoul 1. Gyeongbokgung Palace

Gyeongbokgung Palace was the first royal palace built by the Joseon Dynasty, three years after

the Joseon Dynasty was founded. Built in 1395, Gyeongbokgung Palace was located at the heart

of newly appointed capital of Seoul (then known as Hanyang) and represented the sovereignty of

the Joseon Dynasty. The largest of the Five Grand Palaces (the others being Gyeonghuigung

Palace, Deoksugung Palace, Changgyeonggung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace),

Gyeongbokgung served as the main palace of the Joseon Dynasty.

2. N Seoul Tower

N Seoul Tower was built in 1969 as Korea's first integrated transmission tower beaming

television and radio broadcasts across the capital. Since opening to the public in 1980, it has

become a much-loved Seoul landmark. The tower's main attractions include multi-colored digital

art projected onto the tower at night, a digital observatory, a roof terrace, the HanCook restaurant,

the Grill restaurant, and the Haneul (Sky) Restroom. N Seoul Tower's mountain surroundings on

Namsan (Mt.) have made it a popular place to unwind for locals and tourists alike.

3. Namsangol Hanok Village

Namsangol Hanok Village is a collection of five hanoks (traditional Korean houses) from the

Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), recovered from different parts of the city and relocated to the

northern foot of Namsan mountain. The interiors of each of these five houses reflect owners from

different walks of life, from the middle class to the yangban (who were mainly high government

officials, noblemen and aristocrats).

4. Bongeunsa (Temple)

Bongeunsa is a Buddhist temple founded in 794 during the Silla (one of the Three Kingdoms of

Korea) period. The temple has more than 1,000 years of history and has many interesting historic

and cultural features, including woodblock carvings of the Avatamsaka Sutra (Flower Garland

Sutra). The temple is also a very popular tourist destination, offering various programs relating to

traditional Korean Buddhist culture, in a variety of languages.

5. Cheongwadae

Cheongwadae is the Presidential residence of the Republic of Korea and is regarded as the heart

of the nation. It is comprised of the main Presidential office, reception rooms, conference rooms

and living quarters; annexes for Chunchugwan and Yeongbingwan, the Secretariat and Security

Service Office; and gardens and ponds in front and back. The two-storied granite presidential

office is covered with blue roof tiles, from which the name of Cheongwadae was derived

(“Cheongwa” means blue roof tile in Korean).
