Spring at Gyeongbok Palace take 1

A little bit of cultural info to broaden your minds.

Gyeongbok Palace
The palace was originally constructed in 1394 by King Taejo and "Gyeongbokgung" was named by minister Jeong. Part of the palace was burnt down during the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592-1598). In 1911, the government of Japan demolished all but 10 buildings during the period of Japanese occupation,
