Enjoy Night Views of Spring Flowers in Full Bloom at Gyeonghoeru and Heungnyemun
The Cultural Heritage Administration's Palace and Royal Tombs Headquarters announced on the 23rd that night tours of Gyeongbokgung Palace will be operated from May 5 to May 31.
This is a palace utilization program that sells out every year. Visitors can stroll around Gwanghwamun, Heungnyemun, Geunjeongjeon, Gyeonghoeru, Sajongjeon, Gangnyeongjeon, Gyotaejeon, Amisan, and enjoy the night view of spring flowers in full bloom. The busiest area is Gyeonghoeru, where lavish banquets were held. The weeping cherry blossoms in full bloom and the pavilion reflected in the pond add to the charm.
The viewing hours are from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM. Entry closes at 8:30 PM. However, the tours will not operate on Mondays and Tuesdays when Gyeongbokgung is closed, and from April 26 to May 2 due to preparations and performances for the Royal Culture Festival.
