Last year, there were many reasons why Seoul rapidly became one of my all-time favorite cities.

 

Was it the phenomenal culinary delights? ...Sure.

 

How about the strong (and dirt cheap) Jinro Sake? ...I don’t remember... ;p

 

What really stood out was the fact that nestled within this vast metropolis are these beautiful palaces and garden districts. This is The Gyeonghoeru Pavilion and it’s a part of The Gyeongbokgung Palace area, which is one of the largest (and most famous) palaces in Seoul. It’s really great because within a few short minutes from a Metro Station, you can find yourself in one of these peaceful places. They’re a very soothing escape from the noisy city.

 

And no... I can't pronounce: Gyeongbokgung. ;)
