Parks and Palaces

I must say that the parks and palaces are stunning in pictures due to the nice seasonal change. The autumn setting is really awesome. Well the trees in Seoul haven changed much colour versus the ones in the outskirts.

Here are some shots of Gyeongbokgong Palace and Insadong on my second day in Seoul.

It's pretty fun to look at a map and try to figure out the way. The weather was a little cold but doable. Reminded me of the days in Beijing when I combed the Forbidden Palace on my own. It's annoying cos no one can take a proper picture of you, especially I'm holding a DSLR. Haha, so this set of photos focus mainly on the nice scenery I have witnessed. Hope you all enjoy it. More parks and palaces pictures in the next entry.

Well, the palaces are really similiar, influenced by strong Chinese architecture style. Not surprising given the closely related history in the past.
