#newyearnewtrip #travelanywhere #myitinerary One of the most enchanting sights in Gyeongbokgung Palace is the Hyangwonjeong Pavilion, a stunning hexagonal pavilion that seems to float on a serene pond. During my visit, I was captivated by its timeless beauty and the peaceful ambiance it exudes. The pavilion, originally built for the royal family’s leisure, is a perfect example of traditional Korean design. Its graceful curves and intricate details are a testament to the craftsmanship of the Joseon Dynasty. The small island it sits on is connected by a charming wooden bridge, adding to the fairytale-like atmosphere. What struck me most was the sense of tranquility that surrounds Hyangwonjeong. As I stood by the pond, watching the pavilion’s reflection ripple in the water, I felt a deep connection to Korea’s rich cultural heritage.

Gyeongbokgung Palace has many beautiful scenery, but if I had to pick the most beautiful scenery, it would be the four seasons seen at Hyangwonjeong. There is an island floating in the middle of a round pond, and a pavilion is floating on top of it. It is beautiful when the spring flowers bloom, and the fall foliage is dazzling. That is why it is always popular. #2025OverseasTravelEvent

I will introduce you to the beautiful treasure of Gyeongbokgung Palace, Hyangwonjeong. The way to get to Hyangwonjeong from Seoul Station is very simple. Take Line 1 from Seoul Station to Jonggak Station, then transfer to Line 3, get off at Gyeongbokgung Station, and exit through Exit 5. You can reach Gwanghwamun, the main gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace, in about 5 minutes on foot. After entering Gyeongbokgung Palace, pass Gyeonghoeru and continue north to find Hyangwonjeong, located in the rear garden of the palace. Hyangwonjeong is a beautiful two-story pavilion located in the rear garden of Gyeongbokgung Palace. The name “Hyangwon (香遠)” means “the fragrance of lotus flowers that spreads far away.” Built in the 4th year of King Gojong’s reign (1867), this pavilion is built on an artificial pond, making it look as if it is floating on the water. It is especially charming because it is located on a small island in the middle of the pond. This building, with its octagonal roof in the form of a two-story pavilion, is considered a representative example of the beauty of late Joseon Dynasty pavilion architecture. What impressed me the most when I visited was the changing appearance of Hyangwonjeong depending on the season. In winter, the snow-covered landscape presents a wonderful charm. Here are some tips for visiting: If you visit early in the morning, it is a good place to take pictures. In particular, if you take a tour with a guide, you can hear various stories related to Hyangwonjeong. However, please note that viewing the inside of Hyangwonjeong is only possible during special events. #NovemberTravelSupportEvent

#WinterTravel #Gyeongbokgung Gyeongbokgung Palace, a must-see for foreigners traveling to Korea, was filled with many foreign tourists visiting Korea in all four seasons. Among them, Gyeongbokgung Palace covered in white snow, which can only be seen in winter, was a new perspective to see while walking through the picturesque scenery👀✨And Seoul Namsan Tower seen from Hyangwonjeong also felt like a space where the past and present come together.

#Seoul Itinerary #Korea Trip #November Good Places 2024 #Hiking Route Recommendation I came to Seoul to visit the Royal Palace Castle and take you to see the three major palaces in Seoul in one day by subway. The first stop was the ##Deshougu Shrine at City Hall station. Built in 1592, it was the last palace used by the Joseon Dynasty and the Korean Empire. The neoclassical Western-style architectural monuments popular in the early 19th century are paired with the ancient Joseon royal palaces, and the scenery blends between Eastern and Western styles without any sense of dissonance. Stonewall Road outside Deoksoo Palace is a hotspot for #MapleSightseeingGinkgo in Seoul. Deshou Palace is facing the #City Hall, so I visited together. At noon, take the subway to #Gyeongbokgung Palace, the first of the five palaces in Seoul and a #WorldCulturalHeritage, built in 1395. I changed into Korean clothes, transformed into an ancient person, entered the palace from #Gwanghwamun, and reviewed the handover ceremony of the guards 💂♀️. After entering the palace, pass through #Qinzheng Hall, #Qinghui Building, #Xiangyuan Pavilion, and finally leave by #Shenwumen. Then I moved to #BukchonHanok Village, where the residences are all tile-roofed houses from the Joseon Dynasty, which gave me a feeling of traveling through time and space. After walking through Gyeongbokgung Palace and Deoksoo Palace, the power core of the Joseon Dynasty, the last stop is the #Cheongwadae#Presidential Palace and official residence, the core of political power in modern South Korea. It is directly accessible from the Shinmumon exit of Gyeongbokgung Palace, which is very convenient. The main building of Blue House is backed by Beiyue Mountain. The green tiles and the curved roof complement each other, which is elegant and beautiful. I visited the president’s office, residence and places where foreign guests were received. ⚠️ Warm reminder: The Blue House will not be officially opened to the public until 2022. Make an appointment in advance before visiting. Walking through three palaces in one day was like reading a three-dimensional South Korean history book, which gave me a deeper understanding of the historical development of South Korea.

#FallHocationEvent #seoultrip #south_korea Gyeongbokgung Hyangwonjeong is a beautiful pavilion located in the middle of a pond, where a tranquil atmosphere and natural scenery blend together. You can feel different charms in each season, and when I visited, the pond full of lotus flowers was fantastic. It's a place you must visit when visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace.

#SoutheastAsiaFlightEvent The view from the front of Geoncheonggung is really beautiful because Hyangwonjeong is right in front of Geoncheonggung. Hyangwonjeong has a pavilion in the middle of the lake and a bridge leading to the pavilion. However, the bridge is currently closed so I only saw it from the front of the bridge, but it was even more beautiful when I saw it up close.

#falltrip One of Gyeongbokgung Palace's most alluring spots, Hyangwonjeong Pavilion, has finally been restored after three years! The Pavilion's original beauty was revived through the participation of some of Korea's top master craftsmen during the restoration project. Constructed around 1885, the Hyangwonjeong Pavilion is a hexagonal-shaped structure built upon an artificial island in the middle of a pond! What was once a resting place for the king and the royal family, the Pavilion's name holds the meaning of"A far-spreading scent." Lotus flowers have been planted within the Pavilion's pond emitting many subtle pleasant scents.
