What people say

Kelly Foo
"One of the most well-preserved of the 5 remaining royal palaces in South Korea. The area consists of a public palace area, a paved courtyard, open corridors, and the royal family’s residence. One of the most photographed spots at Changdeokgung Palace is the Huwon Garden. You’ll get to see a lily pond and elegant pavilions surrounded by beautiful flowers. Whilst this palace is beautiful all-year-round it is the most time to visit is during autumn to see the fall foliage and the palace grounds (tour required for the secret garden)."
