I have worn hanbok in Gamchon Village in Busan previously
Although it is colourful and it also goes well with hanbok, I still think that hanbok is the most suitable to shoot in the traditional Korean palace!
So I decided to wear a hanbok at Gyeongbokgung Palace~~
As soon as you exit Gyeongbokgung Palace Exit 4, there are two hanbok shops
Daehanbok Hanbok is on the 2nd floor
We got there at 4 o’clock
I didn’t expect so many people over there by that time!
The staff there speak Korean, English and Chinese
Therefore there is no language barriers at all~
There are 3 different prices: normal, special and premium
Men and women, young and old, have a huge number of different styles to choose from
I considered it for a long time and finally chose the special hanbok
The staff said after choosing the skirt and she would help me match the top
I chose a dress with a yellow base and pink tulle
It looks super match and I cannot wait to shoot photos!!
There are 3 dressing rooms on the 2nd floor, and the staff will go in and help you put on the hanbok
After wearing it, as I didn’t like the skirt too be too fluffy, I asked the staff to help me add a belt
After wearing it, there will be a small card stating the hairstyle that you have chosen and the locker key
After that, go up to the 3rd floor with hair styling
Because my hair is so short, I can only have the special style
And my friend’s hair is long, so she can have the premium style
After styling the hair, we go directly to Gyeongbokgung Palace
I have to say that the location of this Hanbok store is super good
After going out, walk for 5 minutes and you can see the Gyeongbokgung Palace
Wearing a hanbok to enter Gyeongbokgung Palace is free admission
This is the first time that I wear a hanbok at Gyeongbokgung Palace
It looks really like going back to ancient Korea!
However the palace is too huge and we just took the photos near to the entrance
Turn right and walk for about 5 minutes and there would be the exit
Exit there and walk along the left side, you can see the retro street at the National Folk Museum of Korea
This street is the replica of the 70s to 80s of Korean street with school, cafe, salon, and alike
I love the vibe here so much!
Although it is the 70s of the Korea, wearing Hanbok is not weird here
After a while, we returned back to the station area but is not the time to return the hanbok
We were going to the K-culture Museum inside the Gyeongbokgung station
There is a free exhibition with different scenes
Although it’s small, it is worth going
There is also some people wearing hanbok to this exhibition like me
It is really a nice experience to wear hanbok to the exhibition
