Deoksugung Palace, where the past and present coexist

📝Korea Travel Notes Part18: Deoksugung Palace📝 🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️ First of all, this Deoksugung Palace is not the one in Hangzhou, but the one in Seoul. It is the last palace of the Joseon Dynasty and the only palace in the five palaces of Seoul that combines Chinese and Western styles. The palace was built in 1592, and what we can see today is basically the rebuilt version around 1900-1910, which has been over a hundred years. 🖼️🖼️🖼️🖼️ The Western-style stone palace with the fountain lawn square in front of the gate really has the style of a European palace. The east wing is a history museum, and the west wing is a modern art museum. The history museum strictly controls the flow of visitors, and foreigners need to register and queue on site. If the quota is full, you can only queue for the next time slot. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to queue up this time😭. 📷📷📷📷 In addition, Deoksugung Palace also has night tour activities, which look very interesting. Unfortunately, I didn't catch up this time due to time reasons. Next time I have the opportunity to go to Korea, I really want to brush all the night tours of these palaces, each of which looks very unique. In terms of tourism experience, Korea is really awesome.
