I was so curious about the opening of Cheong Wa Dae! The building's color scheme is so luxurious and beautiful, with a sophisticated touch of traditional Korean color that is truly impressive. The natural colors are so beautiful that color correction was hardly necessary 🥺 🏷️The most curious place was the main building of Cheong Wa Dae (2-7). A space for the president's official duties and diplomatic meetings. 🏷️The presidential residence (8-9). A living space for the president and their family. I couldn't go inside, but I could roughly see through the window... Located right in front of Gyeongbokgung, visiting Cheong Wa Dae and Gyeongbokgung at the same time is the best itinerary👍 📍Cheong Wa Dae 📍1 Cheongwadae-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul ⏱9 AM - 6 PM (last admission at 5:30 PM) ❗️Online reservation is mandatory. On-site applications available from June 12th.

‘Cheong Wa Dae’, which translates into Blue House in Korean and functions as equivalent to the White House in the US is now open to the public after 74 years with Yoon Suk-yeol taking office as South Korea’s new president. Before opening up to the public beginning this May, Cheng Wa Dae served as an executive office and official residence of the president of South Korea. Located 10min of walking distance from the Gyeongbok Palace Station (Line 3), you must reserve online first to be able to visit. #korea #seoul #historicculture #triptoseoul #cheongwadae #bluehouse #historicalsites #thingstodo

#koreatrip It was pretty nice to visit, there were many employees along the way helping you find the right path. I was very impressed how big this place was. The only thing that was stressful was that it’s quite a lot walking up hill, so if you are planning on visiting with older people, try and plan more time for walking between places. My MIL had some issues walking uphill but it was still very nice. The had plenty of resting spots so it was no issue to sit down for a bit. I would recommend it. Also please by a ticket in advance, since it can get very crowded.

Cheong Wa Dae was officially opened to the public last May, and any tourist can directly make a reservation to visit without restrictions. 🎫 You can make a reservation online, but if you don't have a Korean SIM card, you won't receive any messages. The simplest way is to bring your passport in the morning and go directly to the gate to make a reservation. Normally, there are 1,000 spots available each day, and you can get in during the morning. 🎫 Cheong Wa Dae, as the official residence of the President of South Korea from 1948-2022.5.10, has always been the place where presidents have worked, and it is also the highest representative term of South Korea. 🎫 Currently, you can visit the main building inside, which includes some office furnishings, artworks, introductions to former presidents, as well as the external garden, rear mountain, living quarters, etc. The entire visit takes about two hours.

🎡🎡🎡 Main Features: Korean Drama Scenes, Presidential Residence, Review of the History of the Joseon Dynasty (Gyeongbokgung Palace) 🔝 During the Spring Festival of 2015 when we visited, Cheong Wa Dae was still the presidential residence of South Korea, so it was not completely open to the public but only partially. Cheong Wa Dae, Gyeongbokgung Palace, and the National Folk Museum of Korea should be considered as one scenic area, and it takes a morning to visit the whole place. After the Spring Festival of 2022, the current presidential residence has been relocated, and the main building of Cheong Wa Dae and the interior of the presidential residence are now open for public visits. Time flies, it's been 8 years already, OMG. Cheong Wa Dae is located in Hyoja-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul Special City, South Korea. It was once a detached palace of the Goryeo Dynasty, and in 1426, after the Joseon Dynasty established its capital in Hanyang (now Seoul), it was used as the rear garden of Gyeongbokgung Palace. Buildings such as Longwu Hall, Qingnongzhai, and a martial arts training ground were constructed, and a piece of land for the king's personal farming was also opened. Cheong Wa Dae was newly built during the presidency of Roh Tae-woo. The main building of Cheong Wa Dae once served as the presidential residence of South Korea. It housed the president's office, reception hall, conference room, living quarters, and the annex building included the secretariat, security room, and guesthouse. 📺 The filming location of the Korean drama 'Rooftop Prince', which is why it left a deep impression. If the weather is good, the photos are very beautiful, with Seoul's blue skies☁️. Being close to the sea is great; pollution and such are blown away quickly, unlike our Chengdu's big basin.

Visiting South Korea, the Blue House is a must-see! Today, my journey in South Korea with my friend Xiao Wu is becoming more delightful. As we step into Seoul, it feels like traveling through time, caught between ancient palaces and the modern political center. Seoul is a city where history and modernity coexist, and it is also an important inheritor of Eastern culture. In the early morning, passing through the bustling streets, we arrive at Gyeongbokgung Palace. This is undoubtedly a solemn and simple palace, as if narrating the long history of Korea. Walking among the green bricks and tiles, one feels refreshed and delighted. The royal architecture's splendor seems to sketch the most wonderful patterns, where history twists and turns vividly, allowing us to experience the spread and profound heritage of ancient Eastern civilization. With the afternoon breeze on our faces, we visit the Blue House. This is the center of power in South Korea, bearing the weight and direction of the nation. Although the power center's office has moved elsewhere and become an exhibition hall, being here feels like sensing the pulse of politics. Under this area of green bricks and blue tiles, the future direction of Korea was once established. No matter how things change, every decision made here was once part of the nation's actions. Behind this Blue House lies the expectations and hopes of countless Korean people, as well as their longing for peace. With a myriad of thoughts, leaning against the wall, we overlook the royal mountain and the urban forest in the distance. At this moment, it feels like we have traveled through a thousand years, witnessing the blend of the ancient and the modern. Xiao Wu sincerely marvels at the 'Korean Imperial Palace' and the uniqueness of this great Eastern country, while I guide him more—to appreciate the culture and civilization here, not to simply compare, but to view everything with an open, inclusive, and appreciative eye during our travels. For these are all witnesses to Korea's history. Here lies the source of Korean cultural and political heritage and the starting point for showing a new chapter to the world. Strolling between the past and present of Seoul, we witness the city's continuous forward strides. Here, history and the future intertwine, with palaces and the political center complementing each other. In this brief article, the Blue House, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changgyeonggung Palace, Deoksugung Palace, Donggung Palace, Gyeonghuigung Palace, and the Jongmyo Shrine, among others, have given us a preliminary understanding of the past and present of the Joseon Dynasty, and also let us perceive the unique charm of the city of Seoul.
