- Spot Introduction -


Changdeokgung Palace

Changdeokgung Palace, known for its beautiful scenery among the palaces of the
Joseon Dynasty, is a secondary palace built in 1405 after Gyeongbokgung
Palace. Its excellent state of preservation and strong resemblance to the
original atmosphere, along with its outstanding balance of nature and
architecture, led to its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in
December 1997. Rebuilt by King Gwanghae in 1611, the palace harmoniously
blends nature and man-made structures, and is a popular tourist destination,
boasting numerous cultural treasures such as Injeongjeon Hall, Daejojeon Hall,
Seonjeongjeon Hall, and Nakseonjae Hall.


・Secret garden (back garden)

The Rear Garden of Changdeokgung Palace was a place of relaxation for the king
and other members of the royal family. The Rear Garden was also known as the
North Garden or Forbidden Garden, and after King Gojong's reign, it came to be
called the Secret Garden. During the day, the fields and valleys remain in
their natural state, and it is considered the finest garden in Korea, with
human intervention only in necessary areas. There are many pavilions and
springs scattered throughout, including Buyongjeong Pavilion, Buyongji Pond,
Juhapnu Pavilion, Eosumun Gate, Yeonghwadang Hall, Bulromun Gate, Aeryeonji
Pond, and Yeonggyeongdang Hall. It is said to be especially beautiful in
autumn when the leaves change color and fall.
