Gyeongbok Palace was full of interesting things and amazement. Even though I went there many times in the past, I always fell new things and realize interesting and surprising secrets of the Palace. When I first entered Gyeongbok Palace, I waw Gwanghwamun. Gwanghwamun was an amazement itself. It was absolutely beautiful. I was astonished by our ancesters for building this massive, and surprisingly complicated entance, or "door". Gwanghwamun wan't located in its original place in the past, but now it's finding its own place. It was dreadful that this beautiful Gyeonbok Palace isn't protected by UNESCO. The main reason is because it;s not the original one. It was burned during the war in the past. Like this, Gyeongbok Palace ahd experienced mant gardships.

  There were mant interesting aspects of Gyeongbok Palace. I was once more fascinated bt our ancesters because they made symbols anywhere and in everything.  Every material creating Gyeonbok Palace and every scupture had its own symbol. This was the most interesting thing I learned about Gyeongbok Palace. And by knowing these symbols, I thought that Gyeongbok Palace turned into one good mystery with symbolization.

  I also thought Gyo-taw-jeon was intresting. It was located far back from the outside, and this is because the Queen must not go outside often and the main theme is to protect the Queen. I thought even though the Queen is protected and living with everything she wanted, she didn't acheive one, very important thing, freedom. In the past, especailly in Chosun, according to Confucian ideas, women were not supposed to leave their house often and always respect their husband. So the king built the Queen a garden called Ahmisan behind Gyo-tae-jeon.

  After trip, even though it was really freezing, I thought I would want to visit here again.
