-symbol of Kor traditional architecture

There are many types of traditional architectures especially in Seoul city. Because Seoul has been the capital of our country for thousand years, it has the royal palaces. The biggest and famous palace is Kyungbok palace. It was made in Chosun dynasty about thousand years ago and used by emperors for 500 years. It is in the north of Seoul near Jongro street. Firstly, the buildings are made of wood like pine tree instead of stone or metal, and secondly its roof is covered with many tiles. As modern buildings, they are facing due south. Lastly, there are many Chinese characters in every building and most of them were written by famous master calligrapher at the times. Personally, I like the perfectly balanced design of the main building. This famous building became a symbol of Korean traditional culture to many foreign tourists.

Follow-up Questions

1. Are the buildings well preserved?

Yes, of course. You can find a good example of this at the Kyungbok palace where the staff does a good job of maintaining the facilities and stopping people from damaging it. This is important because when people touch it or enter the room thoughtlessly, the paint can fade and cracks can appear.

2. Would you tell me about advantages whether to keep cultural properties?

Well, first of all, ti's good for tourist business. As like western countries, traditional architectures are main sources of attracting foreign tourists. And secondly, we have to preserve it for our next generation because they want to see it personally to feel the old culture.
