More parks, trees and old men.

Extended my stay for another day and spent my 5th day exploring this area. I was sort of lost trying to get to Changyeonggung from Jungyo Shrine. Apparently there's another famous palace knows as Changbokggung, classified as one of the UNESCO world heritage building. Unfortunately it was closed. And seriously, doesn't make sense to close some palaces on certain days when they are in the same area. People like me probably will not make another trip to Seoul just to see that palace again! Darn.

Somehow the area where I was at seemed to be a really local place. I wandered around and found myself in some back alleys with some little foodstores. I did not flash my camera as I am alone, in this foreign place. Haha the food store owners did not look very friendly as well, I couldn't figure out what they are selling as well. Darn.

Anyway gotten some nice pictures so I cannot complain at all. Enjoy the serene shots, despite my hungry pangs towards noon time.

What to do, just my luck.

Changyeonggung Palace



These are the different markers for different official ranks.






Really like this tree, it has a strong character.













Jongmyo Shrine Park


Somehow the park was filled with old men who were quite well dressed, in their smart hats.



Love the colours










On my way trying to figure out where the other palace is located...
Found some nice treats...
