Changdeokgung Palace



The Changdeokgung Palace in Seoul is so impressive that I am going to break my posts down into the separate parts of the palace. Tours of the palace are offered daily in Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and English. We were amazed at the size of the English tour on a Tuesday afternoon, as you can see from the picture. Maybe it's because this palace was put on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997 as ". . . an outstanding example of Far Eastern palace architecture and garden design." Don't you just love the restrooms there? You've already seen the Secret Garden that is located at the rear of the palace compound. So. . . more tomorrow.
