Deoksugung Palace Royal Guard-Changing Ceremony (덕수궁 왕궁수문장교대의식)

Deoksugung Palace Royal Guard-Changing Ceremony (덕수궁 왕궁수문장교대의식) Deoksugung Palace has held a guard-changing ceremony since 1996 after thorough historical research by leading historians. The ceremony, which is held in front of the Daehanmun Gate of Deoksugung Palace, is a tradition similar to the Changing of the Guards at Buckingham Palace and offers a rare opportunity to experience royal culture. The royal gate is opened and closed at pre-determined times, and the gatekeepers in charge of guard duty and patrols hold a shift ceremony three times a day. korea photo http://www.tv1.kr
