Cheongwadae (The Blue House) 청와대

Cheongwadae is the presidential residence of the Republic of Korea. Cheongwadae which literally means 'pavilion of blue tiles' consists of the main office hall, the presidential residence, the state reception house(Yeongbingwan), the green grass garden(Nokjiwon), the Chunchugwan press hall, and the secretariat buildings.

It's recommended to go during October because the Mugunghwa (Korean national flower) Valley has colorful flowers, a fountain, and a phoenix statue, which makes it perfect for taking pictures. It is best to visit here between July and October when the Mugunghwa flowers bloom.

You can take tours on specific days for free or just walk around and snap some photos.
