About

A guided night program through the quieter northern grounds of Gyeongbokgung, Seoul's main royal palace, combining history and royal cuisine. With a specialist guide you move through the palace after dark, then sit down in the former royal kitchen for a modern reinterpretation of the Joseon royal table — a 12-dish surasang served dosirak-style. This year adds a changgeuk (Korean opera) performance inside Jibokjae, King Gojong's private library, before the evening closes at Hyangwonji Pond under the stars. One of the most sought-after tickets among the palace night programs — book early.

Description translated from official Korean tourism data. Details can change — verify with the organizer before you go.
