Seoul's Hidden Gem: A Stroll Through Changgyeonggung Palace

Seoul's Hidden Gem: A Stroll Through Changgyeonggung Palace During my trip to Seoul, I stumbled upon a tranquil hidden gem—Changgyeonggung Palace. Like a pearl in the wilderness, it exudes a unique charm. After touring Changdeokgung Palace, I reached the end of the road and was faced with a choice. The left path led to the Secret Garden, which requires a reservation, while the right path led to Changgyeonggung Palace. I bought a ticket for just 1,000 won at a small pavilion and embarked on a unique journey of exploration. Upon entering the small gate, the first thing I saw was the placenta chamber of King Seongjong. I was curious, as it was my first time hearing about it. It turned out to be a place where placentas were buried. This Korean custom is quite interesting and adds a unique touch to the ancient palace. As I continued walking, the scenery became more and more enchanting. There was a lake with rippling water, a garden full of greenery, and a palace area that, though not large, was exquisite in every detail. There were no bustling crowds or noisy chatter, just a serene environment that instantly calmed my mind. As I strolled through the palace, I could feel the weight of history and the beauty of tranquility with every step, as if time had slowed down. Compared to other popular attractions, the peace and comfort of Changgyeonggung Palace is especially precious. As I walked out of the main gate and along the main road, the sun shone down, and though it was a bit hot, I felt content as I recalled the leisurely time I spent at Changgyeonggung Palace. It was not just a sightseeing trip, but a healing journey for the soul. If you are also looking for a place in Seoul to escape the hustle and bustle and experience the charm of history, Changgyeonggung Palace is the perfect choice. I believe you will also be captivated by its unique charm.
