Events at Korea’s Royal Palaces to Restart Next Week
For people in the Seoul area, here is something to do in the coming weeks:
The popular nighttime tours of royal palaces in South Korea will resume next week, months after their suspension due to novel coronavirus fears, the cultural heritage authority said Saturday.
The Gyeongbokgung Starlight Tour will start on Wednesday and go through June 8, while the Changdeokgung Moonlight Tour will open from Thursday until June 21, according to the Cultural Heritage Administration (CHA).
Tickets for the nocturnal programs are available for purchase at the e-commerce website Auction (ticket.auction.co.kr).
A special program named Gyeongbokgung Saenggwabang, which provides tourists a chance to experience a traditional tea ceremony and enjoy dessert, will start its one-month run on Wednesday.
Music concerts will be also held at the royal palace of Gyeongbok every weekend from May 30 to July 12.
At the same time, the changing of the royal guard ceremony at Gyeongbok Palace already restarted on Wednesday, the administration added.

Excellent!! The threat of 99.9995% of their visitors surviving unhatmed seems to be less scary in Korea than Michigan or New York.
Went to the palace once, part of a retreat weekend sponsored by the Catholic chaplains. The morning was a tour of a Buddhist monastery then over the the Palace for a look around, no tour guide or program there. If I ever get back to the ROK I’ll spend some time there.
Need a copy of the map, right?
