Second Thursday

On Second Thursday. I visited many historical sites such as Gyeong Hoe Ru and Seokjojeong Area. Gyeong Hoe Ru was in Gyeong Bok Gung which that I visited few days ago. After the visit and some research, I could find out that Gyeong Hoe Ru was used for royal banquets and entertainment for foreign envoys. It was recontructed in 1867. There were many foreign tourists from America, China, and Japan. Seokjojeong Area was in Duk Su Gung which I also visited few days ago. Suprisingly, opposite to other traditional contructions, Seokjojeong Area was a western style building. This building was used by King Gojong as sleeping quaters and an audience hall. I also took many pictures at these places. Tomorrow I will write about these sites
