Chandeokgung Palace
It is one of the most well preserved royal palaces from Joseon Dynasty. Built by King Taejong in 1405, it has been the primary palace for around 270 years after its restoration in 1610 from destructions by Japanese invasion. It served as the place for 13 kings including the last monarch managing state affairs. In 1997, Changdeokgung Palace was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage for its natural setting in perfect harmony with architectural buildings. Taking up two thirds of the palace, Rear Garden as known as Secret Garden served as a resting space for the royal family members during the reign of King Taejong. Visitors are impressed by the beautiful landscape of autumn leaves in Fall, as it is the loveliest season to walk around the garden.
