Changgyeonggung, Royal palace in Jongno District, Seoul, South Korea
The palace complex spans over 185,000 square meters and features multiple ceremonial halls, gates, and traditional Korean gardens with ponds and pavilions.
King Sejong constructed Changgyeonggung in 1483 to accommodate the dowager queens during the Joseon Dynasty, establishing it as a secondary residence.
The palace architecture follows traditional Korean design principles with elevated stone foundations, curved roofs, wooden columns, and intricate decorative patterns.
The palace opens daily except Mondays from 9 AM to 9 PM, with guided tours available in English, Chinese, and Japanese languages.
During the Japanese occupation, the palace grounds contained a zoo and botanical garden, with the Victorian greenhouse structure still standing today.
