Day 3: Changdeokgung palace

Beside Gyeongbokgung, this is another palace used to be a major palace in Joseon dynasty.It was built by the order of King Taejong in the year 1405 to be secondary to Gyeongbokgung. Both of palace was fired during the Japanese invasion in the 1592 and Changdeokgung was rebuilt in 1610 to serve as the main palace. This palace has the area closed to Changgyeonggung palace. Moreover, Changdeokgung had many magnificent place  inside such as the secret garden, Jondeokjeong and ect. This palace become UNESCO World Cultural Heritage in the year 1997.

To be this is my favourite place due to its location on the hill with many trees around. Cherry blossoms and many flowers are blooming. I felt very relaxed even though, I need to take an hour to finish walking around this palace.
