Night Photography Enthusiasts, Hurry Down To Gyeongbokgung!

Those in Seoul who enjoy night photography, you have a narrow window of opportunity to snap National Treasure No 224, that is: Gyeonghoeru Pavilion in Gyeongbokgung in all its moonlit splendour. Actually according to the JoongAng Daily, it's the "first time in its 615-year history" that it will be lit up and it's also a rare opportunity to enjoy a late evening stroll on palace grounds.

The Cultural Heritage of Administration of Korea is extending opening hours for  the palace for a short period to allow the participants and visitors for the G20 Summit to appreciate the elegance of traditional Korean architecture.

In fact, much of Seoul has been lit up as never before to showcase the landmarks of the city. So if you're into taking photos of the urban landscape at night. this is the best time to do so.

Another piece of good news is that the Seoul Lantern Festival down at Cheonggyecheon has also been extended. Check out the traditional lanterns which come from 24 countries. Light up happens daily from 5 pm to 11 pm until November the 21st.
