Our first short stop is the Blue House. The signature markings of the Presidential Residence of Cheong Wa Dae are its blue tiles, which is the first thing guests will notice upon entering its premises.
Next, we'll visit the Gyeongbokgung Palace, located in the northern part of Seoul. It is the main and largest palace of the Five Grand Palaces of the Joseon Dynasty. Afterwards, we'll proceed to the National Folk Museum, which is located inside the palace. The museum presents over 4,000 historical artifacts that were used in the daily lives of the local people.
