The terrace situated on the first floor offers an open view of the surrounding area including roof tiles of hanok structures and alleyways in Seochon. It is said that Korean novelist Yoon Hu-myeong also appreciated the structure of the guesthouse, saying, “It is an interesting place.” Built in the 1930s, the house, which has many storage places, was taken by the owner couple in spring 2014 as they were attracted by the house during their trip to Seochon. After the repair work, the ground floor of the house was opened for guests from January 2016, hoping that guests could share their daily experiences and stories with each other. The guestrooms and the main floored room on the ground floor are open to guests, with the exception of the first floor, which is used by the owner couple. The living room is equipped with books, a curved TV, and a table. The tasty meal, which is served in the kitchen, consists of rice and soup with six side dishes and is much loved by guests. The guesthouse offers a total of four rooms – Jae Room, which is the most Korean-style room; Mi Room, which has a combined style of a Korean-style room and Western-style room; Nan Room, which is an ideal room for meditation with a beautiful paper window; and Ahn Room, which is equipped with a veranda and a pretty flowerbed. Every room has its separate charm with various comfortable bedding to provide a quiet and cozy bedroom for guests in the middle of the city. Furthermore, the guesthouse holds a pansori (epic chant) performance twice a year. The owner started learning how to sing pansori to promote the Korean culture and tradition to foreigners.

Yi Seong-gye (1335-1408), le fondateur de la dynastie Joseon, déplaça la capitale à Hanyang (l’ancien nom de Séoul) et construisit Gyeongbokgung, le premier palace de la dynastie. Terminé en 1395, Gyeongbokgung fut le premier palais royal où le roi non seulement résidait mais aussi dirigeait le pays. Edifié sur les principes du feng shui de l’époque, le site choisi était entouré des montagnes Bugaksan, Namsan, Inwangsan et Naksan. Le palais est exposé au sud pour bénéficier de la plus longue exposition au soleil avec les montagnes derrière qui bloquent les vents froids du Nord.
En tant que palais royal, son architecture représente ce qui se faisait de mieux à l’époque. La porte Gwanghwamun, la porte Heungnyemun et le hall du trône Geunjeongjeon furent construit dans un style grandiose pour représenter la dignité et l’honneur de la nation.

La palais Gyeongbokgung possède de nombreux atouts culturels : ses murs en pierre, ses toits et ses statues Haetae reflètent le degré d’avancement architectural de la dynastie Joseon. Le pavillon Gyeonghoeru (où se tenaient des banquets pour les délégations étrangères et pour le roi et ses dignitaires) et le bassin Hyangwonjeong (un endroit pour la détente) sont considérés comme les plus beaux exemples du genre en Corée.
Ne manquez pas de visiter le Musée national folklorique situé à proximité après votre visite du palais (entrée gratuite).
