Look in any guidebook or blog about Seoul and you will likely find something about exploring the ancient palaces while wearing the Korean traditional Hanbok. This is, after all, one of the quintessential ways to experience Korea’s capital city. This is exactly what Francis and Li-en had in mind during their visit. We met up at Gyeongbokgung Palace at opening time after the couple had rented their Hanboks from a nearby shop. We then proceeded to explore the palace’s various areas, each offering a different feel and texture. Afterwards, we ventured outside the palace and explored the traditional houses in the surrounding neighborhood.
Below are some of my favorite images from our session.
