Built in 1395, Gyeongbokgung Palace is commonly referred to as the Northern Palace because its location is furthest north when compared to the neighboring palaces of Changdeokgung (Eastern Palace) and Gyeonghuigung (Western Palace) Palace.
Gyeongbokgung Palace is arguably the most beautiful, and remains the largest of all five palaces.

Namsan, a symbol of Seoul, was formerly known as Mount Mookmyeok and has been referred to as Namsan due to its location south of the capital city. With its beautiful natural scenery, Namsan was a place where our ancestors built pavilions in the valleys and engaged in leisure activities, expressing their appreciation for nature through poetry and painting. The area attracted many people, especially the elegant men and women of the time, who sought to enjoy the splendid landscapes. On a 7,934m² site located to the northeast of Namsan, five traditional hanok (Korean houses) from various parts of the city have been relocated and restored. The interiors are furnished with period-appropriate items that reflect the status and character of the people who once lived there, providing a glimpse into the lives of our ancestors. The traditional garden has been restored to its original form, with native plants from Namsan's natural vegetation planted, and a stream has been created to allow water to flow naturally. Pavilions and ponds have also been restored, creating a garden in traditional style. To the west of the garden, a picturesque stream flows, and around it, antique-style pavilions have been built, evoking the old atmosphere of Namsan, where our ancestors once leisurely enjoyed the surroundings. Additionally, a time capsule was buried 15 meters underground on November 29, 1994, to commemorate the 600th anniversary of Seoul as the capital. The capsule contains 600 items representing the city’s appearance, civic life, and social culture, which will be revealed to future generations in the year 2394.
