Gyeongbokgung Palace Starlight Night Tour is a night-time program exploring the northern precinct of Gyeongbokgung while experiencing court cuisine and traditional culture. Moving through the palace with expert commentary, you look into the life of the Joseon royal household and the historical stories bound up with the palace; at the Oesojubang, the palace kitchen, a special 12-dish table setting — a modern reinterpretation of the Joseon royal dining table — is served in 'doseuk' lunchbox form. This year, a special changgeuk opera telling the king's story is presented at Jipokjae, Emperor Gojong's study, for an unusual experience where the history of the space and the performance come together; afterwards you can look at the starlight held in Hyangwonji Pond and enjoy a mood quite unlike the daytime in the quiet scenery of the palace. At the Starlight Night Tour, where the dining culture and history of the Joseon court, historical spaces, beautiful night views and traditional culture come together, you can meet a special and warm night at the palace.
