Today I went to Gyuengbok palace. It was beautiful and spectacular. I think the best buildings in Gyeungbok palace are 경회루, 자경전, 광화문. These buildings have long history. These buildings got restored several times because of wars.
First, the 경회루 is the place where the party was held. It is two story buildings and it is surrounded by the lake. The outside pillar is rectangle shaped and the inside one is rounded shape. The 경회루 means that the sky is rounded and the land is flat. It has much more 용마루 than other buildings.
Second, the 광화문 is the main gate of the Gyeungbok palace. It has really long history. It was rebuilt because of imjin war and stuff. The president 박정희 rebuilt the gate but he didn’t build it properly so we had to build it again. This gate is so bigger than the other gates.
Third the 자경전 was built by 흥선대왕군. It was for the king’s mother. The hall is famous for its beautiful flower wall. There are ten symbols on the chimney including a turtle, crane, sun, and rock which are representing everlasting life.
Finally, the Gyeungbok palace is so beautiful because of these buildings so I want to go there again and again. I think the Gyeungbok palace is the best palace ever in the world. |
