Beautiful Spot to spend time Seoul 🇰🇷🌸#cherryblossom2024 Changde Palace is one of the five major palaces in South Korea and is also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is located near the center of Seoul and is known as a masterpiece of ancient Korean architecture . Changde Palace is famous for its exquisite garden landscape, characterized by an architectural style that blends with the surrounding natural environment. It was once the administrative center and residence of the Joseon Dynasty, including the palace, 👸queen's palace, storage room, and temple. It is worth mentioning that there is a backyard called Biwon in Changde Palace, which is praised as one of the most beautiful palace gardens in Asia. Besides cherry blossoms 🌸 Seoul is famous of its parks and landscape Flowers bloom from Mid march and last till late April. 📍Changdeokgung Seoul , South Korea.Hazi K4

Changdeokgung's Secret Garden sceneryWith the arrival of the fall, one of the places that many look forward to is Seoul's old palaces! » As the scorching summer has finally come to an end, the tinting autumn colors of the palaces radiate as their beauty stands out even more through peace and serenity of the area! While strolling throughout the palaces, you may get curious and come to imagine how palace life used to be. The main five remaining Joseon Dynasty Palaces located in Seoul include Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace, Changgyeonggung Palace, Deoksugung Palace (Gyeongwungung), and Gyeonghuigung Palace (Gyeongdeokgung). You also wouldn't want to miss out on Changdeokgung's Secret Garden scenery from all of the palace locations, highly recommended for visits in the fall. In 2024, I wish to visit this place again. #2024wishKimPS8

Palace famous for secret garden during autumnChangdeokgung Secret Garden course -guided tour is required ,ticket can be purchased from its official website with allocated time slot.It is notorious for its unassuming beauty! Entrance of 10,000won would grant you access to all parts of the palace including the secret garden. It was a little dampening that the fall weather is somethings gloomy so the secret garden in my photo doesnt looks as alluring but the rest of areas are stunning especially the glass house looking which is known as the Great Glass House.( Looking like the crystal palace) This is actually the country’s first Victorian style greenhouse. Outside the greenhouse courtyard features a labyrinth style garden of neatly trimmed boxwood, that is so beautiful The palace even though is smaller than gyeongbokgung it is still quite big imo that you require a few hours to fully immerse in it and walking the different areas! Funfact: If you wear a hanbok you can enter the palace for free Important notice: It is closed every Monday #secretgarden #changdeokgungpalace #seoul #autumntravelismysoul7

🍁 Seoul Beautiful in Fall 🍁#seoul #changdeokgungpalace #seoultrip We visited Changdeokgung Palace and its secret garden as it is well known for catching one of the most beautiful foliage in South Korea. The colours and the traditional architectures made it absolutely stunning. We spent around half a day taking leisure strolls and beautiful pictures in the palace compound. Absolutely a must visit if you are travelling to Seoul in the autumn! Getting there: 🚇 Ten minutes on foot from exit 6 of Jongro3ga station(line 1,3,5), five minutes on foot from exit 3 of Ahngook station(line3) 🚌 Use bus numbers below and get off at Changdeokgung Palace bus stop.(5 min. walk from the bus stop) 🚗 03072 Yulgok-ro 99 Jongno-gu, Seoul Republic of Korea TEL.Natventure58

Early Catch#seoul I planned to visit Changdeokgung Palace early morning and I am happy I did. Early morning these sights are beautiful. Not yet crowded, you can admired it's architecture design and beautiful carvings. The pigeons on the ground were a plus. Lovely to them. I have spent a lot of hours here because I admired its intricate designs from the gates, to its roof tiles and to its buildings.seenzone27

🇰🇷Changdeokgung Palace#seoul Changdeokgung Palace is a historical palace located in the heart of Seoul. It was built during the Joseon Dynasty and is considered one of the most well-preserved palaces in the country. We had a guided tour to bring us around the vast palace complex, which includes numerous halls, gardens, and pavilions. The guide provided very informative guidance, which gave us a glimpse into Korean history and culture. #Southkorea #changdeokgungpalacecharlini18

Changdeokgung Palace - Seoul, South KoreaThe Changdeokgung Palace is located 30mins away by train from Seoul’s train station. It is one of the 5 Grand Palaces built during the Joseon Dynasty. The palace is quite expansive and gives a glimpse into the space that some of the royals from the Joseon dynasty lived in. There is a small entry fee into the palace complex. There is also a ‘Secret Garden’ which can be entered with a tour. #south_korea #changdeokgungpalaceKennyL25

Catch some history at Changdeokgung#tripblazers #seoul #urbanexplorer Changdeok Palace is one of the five great palaces in Seoul. To get there, take exit 3 at Anguk station and after about a 5 minute walk you’ll start seeing signs for this amazing spot. A UNESCO world heritage site, you can see many beautifully painted palace buildings, but make sure to book early if you visit in autumn as tickets sell out quickly!HereComesTheSun25

Secret Garden 🪴Since Gyeongbokgung is too mainstream, let me bring you to Changdeokgung this time. Its not just a palace, they also have secret garden at the backyard. It is so big, beautiful and less people because most people go to the main palace only and didn't know about their garden. The normal entrance ticket is 3,000₩ but if you want to go to garden, you need to book online (which is usually sold out fast) because of limited slot. They also have separate entrance for the garden. So please read the map carefully. Recommend to go during autumn for more aesthetic photos. #mytripvlog #2023travelwish #southkoreaxonochuxo16

The palace is well-preserved and has so much rich history! It’s also walking-distance from Jogyesa Temple and the Insa-dong neighborhood. The views are especially spectacular at sunset.
It is not very often we see palaces and we can walk into one and see the structure. It was nice to see how It was preserved.
Definitely a must visit palace in Korea. the place is huge enough to cater more tourists plus the entry is just krw1,000 . If you enter to the secret garden add krw5,000 in the next ticket booth
Changde Palace is registered by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage palace everywhere is suitable for taking pictures and grabbing the perspective and background are very charming! There is a free Chinese audio tour in the palace. The full tour time is about 1 and a half hours. It is highly recommended that if you are not in a hurry, you can follow the tour to understand the story and traditional culture of the palace! !
The most famous of this palace is the secret garden behind. Only the tour guide can enter it. It is recommended to check the language you need for the tour guide online first, see which venue and then go. The secret garden is about an hour. The scenery is not bad. The most beautiful scenery is in October. After the transfer, you can go to other places, but the indoor area is not allowed to enter.
