“Walk with the King – Exploration” is a nighttime tour through Gyeonggijeon, featuring an immersive one-act play and historical commentary that revisits the meaning of the cultural heritage within the shrine. The time-travel-like staging and narration naturally remind us why national heritage should be known and protected.
“Walk with the King – Healing” offers a time to empty and fill your mind with carefully prepared refreshments, traditional music (yanggeum), and a singing bowl meditation after the opening. A night experience blending tea, conversation, and meditation gently soothes the senses.

By car — You can use the public parking lot in front of Gyeonggijeon, but it’s crowded on weekends and during peak season. Consider nearby public lots or your lodging’s parking and plan to walk.
Advance reservation required
