After the forced annexation of Korea and Japan in 1910, the Joseon Governor-General was built in Gyeongbokgung Palace, and it was forcibly relocated to the east of Gyeongbokgung Palace, and Gwanghwamun Gate was rebuilt with concrete during the Third Republic, and it was properly restored to its original location in 2008. In 2009, the road in front of Gwanghwamun appeared for the first time as a plaza, and it is used as a central space of Korea to suit the meaning and function of the place, and as a symbol of democracy and a space of harmony.

Myeong-dong was a residential area where people lived together during the Joseon Dynasty, but it was transformed into a commercial area when the area around Chungmu-ro was developed as a commercial district during Japanese colonial era. Since 1923, it has established itself as a representative downtown area of Seoul, and it has become similar to today through reconstruction projects promoted by the government shortly after the Korean War. Currently, it is the center of Seoul's consumer culture and is loved by domestic and foreigners.

In the south of the traditional garden, a time capsule commemorating the 600th anniversary of Seoul was buried 15m underground on November 29, 1994, and 600 cultural artifacts representing Seoul's city, civic life, and social culture were buried in the time capsule.

Changdeokgung Palace

King Taejo moved to Hanyang in 1394 (the 3rd year of King Taejo's reign) and built Gyeongbokgung Palace as a palace, but King Jeongjong, the second king of Joseon, moved the capital back to Gaegyeong, the former capital of Goryeo. However, King Taejong, who succeeded King Jeongjong, decided Jaecheondo Island as Hanyang, and built a new palace, which is Changdeokgung Palace. There is already Gyeongbokgung Palace in Hanyang, but the fact that Taejong built a new palace meant that he did not want to stay at Gyeongbokgung Palace. Taejong avoided Gyeongbokgung Palace and lived mainly in Changdeokgung Palace, perhaps because he was the place where he caused blood wind.However, large national important events were mainly held at Geunjeongjeon Hall and Gyeonghoeru Pavilion of Gyeongbokgung Palace. At the time of Taejong's founding, Changdeokgung Palace was 74 bays in outer space and 118 bays in inner space, but even after its completion, Taejong continued to expand Changdeokgung Palace and built Donhwamun Gate, the main gate, in 1412. Since then, kings of the Joseon Dynasty often lived alternately between the two palaces of the Yanggung system.

Insadong

Insa-dong, located in the center of Seoul, became the current name after taking the in-laws of Hanseongbu Gwaninbang and Daesa-dong during the Joseon Dynasty. In the early Joseon Dynasty, the site of Dohwaseo began to be located here, and it naturally became the center of art activities. Since then, antique and antique shops began to be built in the 1930s, and in the 1980s, studio, antique furniture stores, and folk crafts stores were created, making its reputation as a traditional cultural street more solid. Now, traditional stores, tea houses, and modern buildings coexist in the past and present, and historical traces remain everywhere, so you can find another aspect of Insa-dong.

The Blue House

Cheong Wa Dae used the Blue House as the presidential residence where the first and 19th presidents of the Republic of Korea lived in public affairs, and the 20th president moved his office to Yongsan and opened it for public viewing from May 10, 2022. During the Joseon Dynasty, Cheong Wa Dae was located in Baesanimsu, the luckiest land under the sky, and was used as the northern sponsor of Gyeongbokgung Palace, where the king directly experienced agriculture, the foundation of the country.

Gyeongbokgung Palace

Inspired by the poem, "I'm already drunk and full thanks to you, Gunja will forever serve your great and great blessings," the first palace in the Joseon Dynasty was named Gyeongbokgung Palace. Because it was a palace planned by the new aristocrat, it was built in a plain and frugal form without fancy decorations compared to the palaces of the previous dynasties, reflecting Confucian ideology. The layout is in the form of a three-word trio according to the Confucian point of view. During the early Joseon Dynasty before the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, it played an important role as a royal palace for the Joseon Dynasty. Gyeongbokgung Palace was designed with strict geometrical space division, the arrangement of buildings on a straight axis, and a neat symmetrical structure to show its authority as a Buddhist palace. Changdeokgung Palace and Yanggung Palace were established, and the kings used the two palaces alternately according to their tastes.It has not been rebuilt for 200 years since it was destroyed during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, but Heungseon Daewongun rebuilt it and has been handed down to this day. For reference, Gyeongbokgung Palace built by Heungseon Daewongun and Gyeongbokgung Palace, which was destroyed during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, are somewhat different. Records of multi-story buildings stand out, such as Sejong's illness while sleeping on the second floor when he was a prince. In addition, there are differences such as mentioning that Cheonggwa was placed on Geunjeongjeon Hall, and you can guess the appearance of Gyeongbokgung Palace at that time through the architectural style depicted in the Buddha's birthplace, which was produced by the Joseon royal family before the Imjin War. Above all, Heungseon Daewongun was rebuilt with 7,400 bays, unlike the previous building, which gradually expanded to a maximum size of 5,000 bays. It quickly became 1.5 times the size.
