Our Visit

For the Gyeongbokgung Palace Night Viewing, you'll need to head to the 2nd branch of Gigibebe Hanbok. It's super close to the main branch and you should see it on the way!

The second branch is smaller than the main branch, but there is still a huge variety of Hanbok styles available to choose from!

Once you pick a skirt, the staff will help you pick out a matching top!

You can also get your hair done by the staff! There are seven styles to choose from. Simple styles are free and more elaborate styles are 3,000 KRW. 

You can go for a more traditional look with Daenggi Hair (댕기머리), which is done with a braid and a ribbon, or you can opt for a more modern look with the pins pictured below!

They have so many beautiful hair accessories! We highly recommend getting your hair done because it really completes the look. 

The staff are very experienced with styling and will match all the accessories to the Hanbok you selected!

These are the styles we chose. Aren't they so pretty?

Finally, you can choose a cute little bag to match your Hanbok and store any belongings you want to bring with you to the palace. All your other belongings can be stored in the lockers at the store!

It's time to head to Gyeongbokgung Palace! If you're wearing a Hanbok, you can get into the Night Viewing for free! Keep scrolling for some nighttime photo ideas~

There are lights on the ground that you can use to create this kind of 'firefly' look! 

It's also fun to match Hanbok looks with a friend! We chose these simple pastel-toned skirts with matching white tops! Here are some examples of photos you can take together at the palace.

You can't miss getting photos with the palace while it's lit up at night! You can sit on the steps directly in front of one of the palace buildings or get some shots from further away. 

You can also rent this traditional handheld lamp from the Hanbok store! It's great to use in photos as well. For more information on how to see Gyeongbokgung Palace at night, check out the link below.
