On the
first three days of the year, there are reenactment type ceremonies with the
king and queen and court.
Inside
the castle is a tea room that we visited twice.
Hot sanpin (jasmine) tea and sweets were served.
Several
times a day there were music and dance performances and we watched several days
multiple times. I loved seeing all the beautiful costumes, too.
We hope
to be watching these wonderful performances again very soon!
It looks like an amazing place to visit.
