Gyeonggijeon Shrine
Gyeonggijeon holds the portrait of King Taejo, who founded the Joseon dynasty, and it's the photo spot most people come for. The shrine grounds also include the Royal Portrait Museum, which you enter at no extra cost.
| Adults (25–64) | ₩3,000 |
|---|---|
| Youth (13–24) | ₩2,000 |
| Children (7–12) | ₩1,000 |
| Last Wednesday of the month | Free (Culture Day) |
Hours change by season. The museum's site lists 09:00–19:00 in September and October, and 09:00–20:00 in summer. Guides give 09:00–18:00 in winter. Last entry is one hour before closing. The village's English page says 10:00–18:00, so sources differ — arrive early to be safe.
Unlike the Seoul palaces, the official pages don't list free entry for hanbok. Older reports mention a monthly "hanbok day" with a discount, but we couldn't confirm a current rule. Bring ₩3,000 and ask at the gate. How free entry works in Seoul
