景福宮(Gyeongbokgung).


@Seoul - The gate of Gyeongbokgung,"Heungnyemun 興礼門"(The Second Inner Gate).

Gyeongbokgung
The palace was originally constructed in 1394 by King Taejo,
and the name "Gyeongbokgung" translates in English as "Palace Greatly Blessed by Heaven."

景福宮は「たくさんの幸福がくるように」という意味をこめて付けられた名前の王宮。

ステキな名前だなぁ。
