Perfect Timing

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

• Wear solid, contrasting colors like deep reds, emerald greens, or classic white to stand out against the natural landscapes and ancient stone architecture.

• Trust your photographer's direction for micro-film and aerial shots; subtle, natural movements often look best on camera.

• Consider renting a traditional Korean Hanbok independently before the tour to add a rich, colorful cultural layer to your photos.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

When photographing near temples or royal tombs, maintain a respectful demeanor and keep noise levels low. It is considered highly disrespectful and illegal to climb on or touch the ancient tumuli (burial mounds) scattered throughout the city.
