Macau, Macau SAR ChinaToday after our breakfast, we visited the Changdrokgung Palace. This palace was loved more than the other palace by the King of Joseon Dynasty because of the spacious and beautiful garden in the back (The Secret Garden). The Secret Garden was intended as a place of kings and Royal family members to relax, but it was also a venue for various activities, for example military exercises and archery contests. The plants in the garden are very valuable because they were planted by then Kings’ own hands. For lunch, we enjoyed the mixed style buffet where there were a lot of western and Korean food to choose from.
In the afternoon, we had visited the Namdaemun market. The market has various types of less expensive products for the visitors to buy. We also had visited the Myeong-dong district where it has all of the famous bands and shops from all around the world. There were also different types of Korean style snacks from the small avenues.

IAs the sun rises, energetic people sprint towards the lobby for their last shopping day in Korea. Our first destination is the Shang de Gong, a magnificent ancient palace where the royal family used to live in. We had a mixture of Korean, western and Japanese buffet for lunch right after exploring ancient ruins. Nan Da Men, one of the main tourist attractions where you could purchase food and clothes on the street. Although I’ve spent an hour searching for goods and souvenirs, my effort was wasted on nothing. We walked to our final destination, the glorious Ming Dong. A few acres of land filled with various shops and restaurants, attractive employees smiling and waving at you providing a warm welcome to their store.
