This booklet is based on the 2010 International
Tourist Survey on Korean Travel conducted by
KTO. It reflects the attractions and locations that
international tourists preferred or wanted to visit
again. The survey led to choosing the five besttourist destinations: Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, Busan,
Gyeongju, and Jeju Island. Each location is, in turn,
divided into detailed sections on History & Culture,
Fashion & Shopping, Youth & Energy, Leisure &
Recreation, and Theme Park.
The booklet is designed to offer one-day courses for
international tourists who use either cars or public
transportation. But slow travelers may need two or,
sometimes, three days to cover one-day courses.

Changgyeonggung Palace
This palace was built in 1483 for queen consorts during King Seongjongs
reign. In subsequent years, many kings were born there, including King
Jeongjo, Sunjo, and Heonjong. It was not used much at
the beginning, but after it was rebuilt in the aftermath of
the Japanese Invasions of Korea, 1592-1598, the palace
became the focal point of the Chosun Dynasty. A few
original buildings (including a hall and a gate built duringKing Gwanghaeguns reign) still remain. Along with the
neighboring Changdeokgung Palace, the palace is an
important site to understand the history of the Chosun
Dynasty.

Changdeokgung PalaceEstablished in 1405 (the 5th year of King Taejongs
reign), it was one of the few palaces where the King
actually resided and ruled the country during the
Chosun Dynasty. It was the rst palace rebuilt after
the Japanese Invasions of Korea, 1592-1598. It is
divided into three sections: Oejeon (the area where
the King and his officials discussed the affairs of
the state), Naejeon (the area that the King and the
Queen used), and Huwon (leisurely space). Because
of its outstanding harmony with surrounding
nature, the palace became a UNESCO World Cultural
Heritage site in 1996.

As the main gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace,
Gwanghwamun was established in 1395 and
symbolized the Kings authority over national
affairs for a long time. Situated on the outskirts ofBukhansan Mountain, it faces Namsan Mountain.
After it was burned to the ground during the
Japanese Invasions of Korea, 1592-1598, it was
rebuilt by Heungseon Daewongun in the late
19th century, but it was subject to deliberate
abandonment when the Government-General of
Chosun (the main Japanese body to rule the country)
was built there; it was destroyed during the Korean
War, but it was opened to the public on August 15,
2010, after extended restoration efforts.

Gwanghwamun
After the Japanese Invasions of Korea, 1592-
1598, King Seonjo temporarily stayed in Wolsan
Daeguns house and, eventually, converted it to
this magnificent palace. It was originally called
Gyeongungung Palace, but King Gojong changed its
name to Deoksugung Palace in 1907. It was here
that King Gwanghaegun, Injo, and Gojong ascended
the throne during the Chosun Dynasty. The palace
boasts an architectural style that infuses both
traditional wooden and Western-style structures.

King Gwanghaegun established this gorgeous palace
in 1616 (the 8 th year of his reign) and about ten
kings ruled the affairs of the Chosun Dynasty there.
It was initially called Gyeongdeokgung Palace, but
King Yeongjo changed its name to Gyeonghuigung
Palace. It used to show off over 98 buildings and
came to be one of the three best royal palaces
during the Chosun Dynasty. Sadly, though, the
palace was severely damaged during the Japanese
Colonial Period, leaving only two buildings that still
stand today?Heunghwamun and Sungjeongjeon.

of it was burned to the ground during the Japanese
Invasions of Korea, 1592-1598; it was rebuilt by
the initiative of Heungseon Daewongun in 1867.
Following the symmetric architectural style based
