Changing of the Guard at Deoksugung Palace in Seoul Korea

The guard changing ceremony at Deoksu Palace, which takes place everyday except for Mondays, is a very good representation of the changing of the guard during the Chosun Dynasty, and a good touristic attraction for visitors.

The ceremony takes place everyday except for Mondays and extremely cold or hot days, at 11 a.m., 2 p.m., and 3:30 p.m., in front of the Deoksu Palace (덕수궁, deoksugung in Korean).

You can easily find 덕수궁 by using the subway. Go to 시청 (sicheong / City Hall) station on line number 1 or 2, and get out of exit number 2 or 3 from line number 1 and exit number 12 from line number 2, and you will see the Palace right next to the subway station.

Japan and China should be thankful to Korea because Korea used to be a buffer zone for both countries!!

and one more fact is that Korea never invaded those 2 countries except for a small Japanese pirate defeats.

@dzhao888 wrong. in the early second millenia korea controlled all of manchuria as well as the penisula. later, it became a vassal state to china and china should be thankful. the chinese used korea as a buffer zone against japan for 1000s of years before the 1930s when the bulk of chinas population centers finally fell to japan during the war.
