Relish the Grandeur of Gyeongbokgung Palace, a First Class Longshan Temple

You’ll feel like a royal with first class flights and visits to the Longshan Temple - IFlyFirstClass

The 14th-century imperial home is a gorgeous example of traditional Korean architecture, with its vivid colors, curved roof lines and ornately carved wooden roof braces. The first and largest of the five Joseon Dynasty palaces, Gyeongbokgung is full of wonderful buildings and attractions. The National Palace Museum of Korea is housed in the south gate, and the on-site National Folk Museum displays more than 98,000 cultural, religious and folklife artifacts. You can spend an entire day exploring the various museums and structures. If you flew in on a business class flight to Seoul for business, though, you may not have all day to enjoy the palace grounds. If so, put aside at least an hour or two to roam the palace complex and watch the colorful changing of the guard ceremony.

Follow up a trip to the palace with a visit to one of Korea's best clusters of Joseon Dynasty tombs in the nearby city of Guri. The Donggureung Tomb Cluster features the tombs of 17 of Korea’s kings and queens from throughout the dynasty’s 500 years. The tombs are prime examples of neung, or king and queen, tombs, and you can see the changes the neung design took over Donggureung's 500-year span. The 14th-century founder of the Joseon Dynasty, King Taejo, rests on the top of the hill in the Geonwolleung tomb. Other royal graves include the twin tomb for the dynasty’s fifth king, King Munjong, and his wife, Queen Hyeondeok. The site is peaceful and picturesque, overlooking wooded copses and gorgeous hills.
