Changgyeonggung Palace, built by King Seongjong of Joseon to serve three queen dowagers, is smaller in scale compared to other palaces, but is a place that preserves deep history and cozy beauty. As a living space for royal elders, it creates a delicate and neat atmosphere, and has regained its original appearance after overcoming the painful history of being downgraded to a zoo and botanical garden during the Japanese colonial period. The Grand Greenhouse, the first Western-style greenhouse in Korea, is much loved for its exotic scenery, and the tranquil natural landscape unfolding around Chundangji Pond offers a peaceful rest in the city center.
Feel the breath of the Joseon royal family in this place where historical tragedy and beauty coexist.
