Changdeokgung Palace
My fiance, her sister, her nephew and I toured Changdeokgung
Palace in Seoul. We were luck enough to see a Changing of the Guard
ceremony even though we didn't plan our outing around getting there
at that time. I didn't learn much because the tour was in Korean,
but here are some of the sights:
 |
| The royal guards at Donhwamun, the main gate of
the palace. |
 |
 |
| Beats on this massive drum
signal the different stages of the changing of the guard ( Audio 67k). |
 |
| Injeongjeon, the main hall of the palace is
where the king sat on the throne to receive his guests. |
 |
 |
| The beautiful roofs of the
palace under the beautiful sky of Korea. Note the blue tiles of the
Royal building, an auxiliary office to the main hall. This is the
only place in Korea you can see this. |
