Rented Hanbok for 2 Hours
Simply meaning ‘Korean clothes’, ‘hanbok’ was introduced in the late 19th century by Koreans as a term to help differentiate their everyday dress from a recent influx of Western-style clothing. A century later, western clothing had overtaken the hanbok as the main style of dress worn by Koreans.
Walk Around Geongbokgung Palace
The main royal palace of the Joseon dynasty. Built in 1395, it is located in northern Seoul, South Korea.

Visited Jogyesa Temple
Jogyesa is the chief temple of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism. The building dates back to the late 14th century and became the order’s chief temple in 1936. It thus plays a leading role in the current state of Seon Buddhism in South Korea.
