Royal Guard
The reenactment of the original ceremony began in 1996. The gate guardsmen serve their sentry, perform the changing of the guards, and hold a parade. The guards' uniforms, weapons, and accessories, as well as their strict ceremonial procedures, catch the eyes of passersby, especially foreign tourists. Since it is hard to experience traditional events in such a big city like Seoul, the change of the guard's ceremony is a great opportunity. It takes place every day except Tuesday.
