We met our guides, took a picture, divided into two teams and moved on. First, we visited Gyeonghui Palace. After passing the magnificent Sungjeongjeon, we enjoyed the beautiful Jajeongjeon. We could feel the beauty of Korean tradition.

After watching Seodaemun Prison, we took a group photo in front of Taegeukgi and went to eat lunch.
