About this view
The camera looks across the grounds of Gyeongbokgung, the main royal palace of the Joseon dynasty in central Seoul. Viewers see tiled roofs with curved eaves, painted wooden halls, stone-paved courtyards and gateways set against the hills behind the city. The changing of the guard in traditional dress is one of the most recognisable sights, drawing crowds along the palace paths.
Mornings are usually quieter and the low light falls softly on the roofs and courtyards. The guard ceremony takes place at set times during the day, and visitors gather beforehand. Spring blossom and autumn colour change the look of the palace grounds, while summer brings heat and frequent rain. Winter light is clear and the courtyards are emptier, so the architecture stands out more.
Gyeongbokgung was founded at the start of the Joseon dynasty and served as the royal residence for generations, with later rebuilding after periods of damage. It sits in the north of the city, with mountains visible behind it. Visitors walk the courtyards, watch the guard ceremony, and continue to nearby museums and the old streets around the palace.
