Deoksugung Deokhongjeon, a place that catches the eye with its harmony of traditional Korean house exterior and Western-style interior decoration🇰🇷

#JanuaryTravelSupportEvent #korea #2024WishEvent Deoksugung Deokhongjeon Solo Travelogue Today (February 18th) at 4:45 PM, I entered in front of Deokhongjeon in the winter sunlight. Completed in 1906, the building had a unique red roof tile and Western-style windows that gave off a sense of history as a reception room for foreign envoys. At around 5:10 PM, a hidden stone pattern under the eastern stairs revealed the engraving of ‘Gwangmu (光武)’! 📌 Recommended solo travel Quiet time: Weekdays 1-3 PM (3 or less visitors) Hidden spot: Pillars with traces of fire from 1904 behind Deokhongjeon (photo spot) Local restaurant: ‘Gureumdabang’ at the end of Deoksugung Stone Wall Road, a handmade chestnut latte (5,500 won) will make you flinch At 4:20 PM, the view of Seokjojeon through the gap in the west window was dazzling. I noticed that the green color of the British glass windows installed during the remodeling in 1911 changed with the time. I shivered because it was cold, but I read the English explanation board with Google Translate, imagining the footsteps of diplomats of all time! 🌐 🚨 Precautions No entry inside (only outside viewing allowed) Be careful of slippery stairs on the east side (ice forming from melted snow) Night lights not working after 5 PM A perfect space for a “quiet historical walk”! I plan to visit again in the spring when the cherry blossoms bloom in front of Deokhongjeon. #koreatrip #Februarytravelsupportevent
