As you all know the Buckingham palace royal guards parade are pretty cool.  
In Korea, we have similar tourist attraction where you can watch the ceremony by Korean traditional palace guards. This is a performance conducted during the Era of Chosun dynasty (A.D 1392~1910) at the palace, three times a day.

Today the ceremony is performed three times a day for tourists at the Deoksugung Daehanmun Gate, across the Seoul City Hall.  On the day I watched, I could see many tourist enjoying the parade despite of the heat.

You can take pics with the guards after the performance.
