Seoul


Gyeongbokgung Palace
next to this pagoda:National Folk Museum
the king's meeting hall
... incredible carvings ...

... place to serve visitors, with a man-made pool around it ...

... little statues on the roof tip, the larger the number, the more important the building is ... (1,2,3..11 in total for this building & 7 for the king's meeting hall building...)


... near The Blue House ~ Home of South Korea's President
... Phoenix guarding the family ~ the King hopes his people live in harmony ...
... Phoenix also represents longevity ...
... background, Mount Bugaksan, symbol of the president's power ...
.. (it looks like a dragon with two eyes) ..
