Punch Changde Palace
This year's first trip was dedicated to Seoul, South Korea. I want to break the pattern of buying, buying and buying in Seoul. I went to Changdeokgung Palace under the recommendation of my friends.
Changde Palace, one of the five major palaces in Seoul, was originally the palace of the North Korean king. In the late Joseon Dynasty, instead of Gyeongbokgung, it was used as a main palace for a long time. In addition, Changdeokgung Palace is the most intact palace in the Korean royal palace. It is a world cultural heritage.
Changde Palace's tour route is divided into front yard and back yard. The front yard is 3,000 won and the backyard is 5,000 won. The backyard can only be with the group. The Chinese explanation is at 12:30 every day. We missed this time period, didn't want to give up the backyard, or reported a Korean group to go in and understand, of course, all the way, only to take pictures. The
Changde Palace front yard is similar to the Forbidden City. It is the place where the Korean kings handle government affairs. The backyard is similar to the Summer Palace, typical royal gardens, courtyards, flowers and ponds. It is a place where kings play, giving me the feeling that it is the Korean version of Jinci, there is time to play, and the tour time is about 1 hour.
Transportation route:
Get off at Seoul MRT Anguk Station and walk for 10 minutes.
Tickets:
3,000 won in the front yard, 5,000 won in the backyard, closed at 4 pm. The five major palaces, such as the Gyeongbokgung Changdeokgung Palace, are 1W won and are valid for three months.

Rich in the history of Korea, Japan and China over the centuries Great architectural features in the buildings
Changdeok-gung is the most beautiful palace in Korea. Don’t miss visiting secret garden.
Changdeokgung means Prospering Virtue Palace. It is one of the "Five Grand Palaces" built by the kings of the Joseon Dynasty. Changdeokgung was the most favored palace of many Joseon princes.
This palace is situated near Seochon, Bukchon, and Gyeonbokgung, and I prefer the grounds to those of Gyeongbok palace. In the summer, this place is absolutely beautiful, and the outdoor gardens, greenhouses, and ponds are a pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon. There are walking tours available at the entrances to all the palaces if you're interested in brushing up on your Korean history, so don't be afraid to ask someone to point you in the right direction.
This is my favorite palace in Seoul (and I have been to basically all of them). The Secret Garden tour, in particular, is excellent, but you may have to book in advance. Go in the spring or fall for the most beautiful conditions.
