Day dreamer and Believer: Day 10: Gyeongbokgung Palace & Gwangwamun Square

Day 10: Gyeongbokgung Palace & Gwangwamun Square

18 Comments

Hello everyone! How are you all doing? Every time I draft my posts in Korea I remember a lot of memories from the pictures I include here. Every photo has its own story and I'm happy that I have my blog where I get to share each of my favorites (not just the pictures in Korea but) in every place that I go to. Having said that, here's to my last day and last post for Korea! :)

Our last day in Seoul was meant for the tourist spots near our airbnb and those were Gyeongbokgung and Gwangwamun Square. We were also supposed to go to N Seoul Tower but our time was limited already since we have to be at the airport by 4pm. To maximize our time and live the full turista feels during our remaining hours we decided to rent a hanbok and take hundreds of pictures wearing it! The rate for a hanbok depends on how extravagant you want it to be. You can rent for as low as 15,000 won but I had mine for 24,000 won because I want to wear a design that I mixed and matched.

Travel tip: When you travel don't settle for something that you do not like because it's cheaper and instead give yourself the freedom to spend your money in something you really like. You're on a vacation and remember, you saved for it! :)

Gyeongbokgung is so huge! We weren't able to roam around the whole place because we got tired in taking pictures in every spots we saw. There were also a lot of tourists when we went there but this picture was on point because it looked like there was no one around. Good timing! :)

Selfie with my batchies! :) Ang hinhin naman namin tingnan dito. HAHA

Next stop after Gyeongbokgung is the famous Gwangwamun Square. It's just located across the palace. I actually don't know what's so famous about the statue but they say that it's an iconic and picture taking spot so might as well have my picture taken there also. By the way, it's the sitting statue in the blurred background. HAHA!

And that concludes my last blog post for Korea! I wish to go back here in another season (preferably Autumn!!!) and explore more places like the Nami Island and Namsan Tower.

*If you wish to go to Seoul this coming Autumn or Winter or in any other countries you wish to visit and still have no bookings made yet I know a Manila-based travel agency who can help you with their offered ALL-IN packages for affordable rates. You can visit their instagram account (@fulhamroadtravel) for their packages and offers. It's a legit travel agency company and I have mine booked again from them this coming December! If you need any inquiry assistance don't hesitate to message me on facebook (Shaira Dela Roca Manalo) or instagram (@shairangelique). I'm always willing to help anyone in fulfilling their travel goals!

**Watch out for my vlog next on this post! :)

xoxo,
