Gyeongbokgung Palace Seoul, South Korea

The palace of Gyeongbokgung is an marvelous site to behold, for it is simply massive.

This is a view form inside the south gate. The south gate is the main gate into Gyeongbokgung Palace. Korean Palace construction, dictates that the south gate should always be the main gate and the north gate was to, always, remain closed. All traffic coming in or out of the palace would pass through these three main entrance ways, however, the middle entrance was reserved for the king and the sides entrances for everyone else. This gate is massive and does the rest of the palace justice for it is an impressive edifice blocking ones path, before you come to enter the royal palace of South Korea.
