What people say

"Changdeokgung Palace, established in 1405 as Korea's second royal villa, served as a principal residence for many Joseon dynasty kings. It's renowned for being the best-preserved among Seoul's five royal palaces. The palace includes public and royal family residence areas, along with a famed rear garden featuring a 300-year-old tree, a pond, and a pavilion.

"Changdeokgung Palace is a grand royal residence located east of Gyeongbokgung Palace. It is the best preserved of the remaining Joseon palaces. If you visit this spot during autumn you’ll get to enjoy sprawling gardens with picturesque ponds and pavillions painted in gold and red. To add to your trip I recommend adding a traditional hanbok experience and have your photos taken with a gorgeous background of the fall foliage and palace."
"Changdeokgung Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a stunning palace complex in Seoul. Known for its harmonious integration with the natural surroundings, the palace features beautiful gardens, elegant architecture, and intricate details that showcase the exquisite beauty of Korean traditional design. I share details about the "Secret Gardens of Changdeokgung" in a separate Spot!"
