Changdeokgung Palace was the second royal villa built following the construction of Gyeongbukgung Palace in 1405. It was the principal palace for many of the Joseon kings and is the most well-preserved of the five remaining royal Joseon palaces.
Changdeokgung is one of Korea’s most sublime works of traditional architecture and a most deserved UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We explored the palace and the the real “jewel within a jewel,” the palace’s extensive royal gardens, frequently referred to in English as the “Secret Garden.”
The best time to visit Changdeokgung’s gardens is when the autumn foliage is at its most beautiful.
