📝Korea Travelogue part7: Night Tour of Changdeokgung Palace📝 🌑🌑🌑🌑 The night tour of Changdeokgung Palace was the part of my trip to Korea that I was most looking forward to, and it certainly did not disappoint. It became the highlight of my trip to Korea and left me with a unique and irreplaceable travel experience. The night tour of Changdeokgung Palace is only open during the more suitable weather months of April to June and August to October, with only 100 spots available each day. For foreign tourists, the tour is only available on Sunday nights at 8 PM, so tickets usually need to be booked well in advance. 🖼️🖼️🖼️🖼️ If Changdeokgung Palace is a modern attraction by day, then at night, it truly feels like an ancient Korean royal palace. Upon arrival at the gate, you'll find a group of guards in traditional attire guarding the palace doors. Carrying lanterns through the gate, you wander along various paths not open during the day, encountering the king and queen admiring the moon by the lotus pond, court musicians playing the daegeum on a high platform, and palace maids playing the guzheng in a pavilion... The atmosphere is truly immersive. 🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️ The entire journey starts at the Donhwamun Gate from the era of Gwanghaegun (the 15th king of Joseon), then crosses the Geumcheon Bridge built during the reign of Taejong (the 3rd king of Joseon), passes through the Injeonmun and Injeongmun to the main hall Injeongjeon. Then, exiting from the Injeongjeon's side through the Seonjeongmun, past the Heejeongdang, entering through the Changgyeongmun to the Yaksajeon from the era of Heonjong (the 24th king of Joseon). After passing the upper pavilion, you enter the Secret Garden to visit the Buyongji Pond and Juhapnu Pavilion. Then, you pass the Bulromun Gate built by Hyomyeong Seja for his father, King Sunjo (the 23rd king of Joseon). Next, you visit the Aeryeonjeong Pavilion and watch a traditional Korean performance at Yeonkyeongdang, finally returning to Donhwamun Gate through the forest path of the Secret Garden. Not a minute is wasted. The tour took place on September 14, 2019
