On the second day, we went to Gyeongbokgung Palace. I am fascinated by the history behind the Palace. It was first constructed in the 1394. It was subsequently destroyed and several areas of the Palace was destroyed by the Japanese when they invaded Seoul during the period of the World War 2. Currently there are projects being undertaken to restore the Palace to its former glory; expect 40% of the Palace to be completed restoration by now. We were shown around the Palace, from the various nobles' living quarters, such as Crown Prince, princesses, servants, and more.
We were also shown the Emperor's Throne room and his founding court room.
