Gyeongbok Palace is once again opening its
doors at night so that Koreans and tourists can enjoy the Joseon Dynasty royal
palace without suffering from the scorching sun.
It will be the first time this summer that
the palace will be open to the public at night.
From July 30 to Aug. 11, the palace will
admit up to 1,500 visitors per night between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. and will stay
open until 10 p.m.
The limited number of tickets, which cost
3,000 won ($2.95), can be bought online starting July 23 at 2 p.m. or at the
door. There is a limit of two tickets per purchase. Tickets for the palace can
be purchased at HERE.
To encourage visitors to learn more about
Korea’s royal culture, the National Palace Museum of Korea will also stay open
until 10 p.m., featuring displays of artifacts from the Joseon Dynasty
(1392-1910).
The Cultural Heritage Administration of
Korea is also recruiting volunteers to work from July 1 to 20, patrolling the
palace grounds during the night. To volunteer at the palace, interested parties
can apply at ww.royalpalace.go.kr
