Changdeokgung Palace
Changdeokgung Palace was the second royal villa built following the construction of Gyeongbokgung Palace in 1405. For 270 years, the palace was home to the Joseon government and was also the favored residence of many Joseon Dynasty kings. This makes Changdeokgung Palace the longest-serving royal residential palace.
What I like the most, Changdeokgung Palace is well-preserved and still has many of its original features. In 1997, Changdeokgung Palace was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Visitors to Changdeokgung Palace might also visited Huwon (Secret Garden).
