At first, I`ll let you go to Changdeokgung palace, the world Unesco heritage in seoul. You can see many beautiful Korean traditional buildings andgarden in the palace. So, You don`t have to miss here, when you have a plan to visit Seoul. Please, follow me!

 

 We will look around the other area in Nakseonjae complex today. There are three beautiful pavilions on the top of the rear garden. They are sangnyangjeong, hanjeongdand and chwiunjeong. But unfortunately the pavilions are not opned to the public. I think the palace view from the pavilions would be very beautiful.

 

Seokbokheon was constructed in 1848. It was built for the Royal Lady Gyeongbin who was chosen in order to give King Heonjong’s desired heir. Sugangjae was first built in 1785, later renovated in 1848 and turned into the quarters of Queen Sunwon, the grandmother of King Heonjong. Nakseonjae was originally enclosed by lines of buildings and courtyard walls, but they were removed during the Japanese occupation. In 1996 this area was restored to its original style. And it was designated as a Treasure No. 1764 in 2012.

Two buildings stretch out long at the east end of Nakseonjae complex. I think the buildings were used as servant`s rooms. kitchin, warehouse and so on.
