Hanbok Experience At Gyeongbokgung Palace (Korea)


 I remembered wearing the hanbok on my first trip to Korea with Josephine, that was over a decade ago. Then we just tried on the hanbok at the shop house and took pictures with it.  This time round wearing the Hanbok was different. We actually wore the Hanbok at Gyeongbokgung Palace. We were told to wear a light top so here I was with a white hitech and yes it was heavy luggage with clothes due to the layering, at least I was not freezing due to the cold in March. On the contrary for this trip, with the right attire, it was enjoyable. Thankfully we were on tour and we could put on our jackets when we needed them.

Feels like I am in a Korean drama

Entrance to the cave
Gwangmyeong Cave was developed in 1912 during the Japanese colonial period to exploit resources, including gold mines, and continued to be developed for industrial purposes after liberation. After the mine was closed in 1972, it was used as a salted seafood warehouse for about 40 years. 
The start of our cave adventure. Thankfully the path was flat



Gwangmyeong Cave is currently recognized as a modern industrial heritage site with high historical value and is well known as a cave theme park in the metropolitan area. 


Beautiful seeing the light show


Temperature in the cave was cool
 Along with the cave, colorful lights and sculptures create a spectacular sight.
