Preview

The sweet scent of royal court confections drifts from beneath the peaceful tiled roofs near Hwaseonghaenggung Palace. This place preserves traditional food culture and etiquette, sharing the history of King Jeongjo's devotion to his people and the royal banquets of Lady Hyegyeong. Walk across the spacious lawn, where you are greeted by tall wooden poles called sotdae, and step inside the elegant hanok, a traditional Korean house.

Here, you will find more joy in exploring and experiencing the grounds for yourself rather than following a set path. Listen to the narration comfortably, like background music, and simply enjoy the moment.
