WHERE TO GO (http://www.visitseoul.net/)
Gyeongbokgung Palace


Gyeongbokgung Palace was the first royal palace built by the Joseon Dynasty, three years after the Joseon Dynasty was founded. Built in 1395, Gyeongbokgung Palace was located at the heart of newly appointed capital of Seoul (then known as Hanyang) and represented the sovereignty of the Joseon Dynasty. The largest of the Five Grand Palaces (the others being Gyeonghuigung Palace, Deoksugung Palace, Changgyeonggung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace), Gyeongbokgung served as the main palace of the Joseon Dynasty.

Royal Wedding Ceremony of King Gojong and Myeonseonghwanghu


A re-enactment of the Garye (royal wedding ceremony of a king or crown prince) of King Gojong (the 26th king of the Joseon Dynasty, who reigned from 1863 to 1907) and Queen Consort Myeongseong is held at Unhyeongung (Palace), the private residence of King Gojong’s father, Prince Regent Heungseon. It is a special event where one can experience firsthand a colorful traditional Korean wedding and royal court culture. It is very popular with Koreans and overseas tourists alike, and a photo session with performers is provided after the event.
Garye refers to a significant national ceremony, such as a king’s wedding and an enthronement. The event re-enacts the royal wedding ceremony of 15-year-old King Gojong and 16-year-old Queen Consort Myeongseong, which was held on March 21st 1866, after Myeongseong had been proclaimed queen consort by selection in the same year (the third year of Gojong’s reign) and had taken lessons in royal court customs and the solemnities of Garye while staying at Unhyeongung.

- When: September 19 (Sat), 2015. 14:00~
