Hyangwonjeong - Gyeongbok Goong

Gyeongbokgung also known as Gyeongbok Palace is a palace located in northern Seoul, South Korea. It was the main and largest palace of the Joseon Dynasty and one of the Five Grand Palaces built by the Joseon Dynasty.

The palace was originally constructed in 1394 by King Taejo and "Gyeongbokgung" was named by minister Jeong Do-jeon. Gyeongbokgung was continuously expanded during the reign of King Taejong and King Sejong the Great, but part of the palace was burnt down during the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592-1598).

I really want to visit Gyeongbokgung. It is a very wonderful place and for me it should be included in 7 New Wonders of the World. The Palace was established to perserve Korean Culture over thousand of years.
