[2024 Seoul Attraction] Travel Guide for Changdeokgung (Updated Nov)

World Heritage Site Changdeokgung Palace and Secret garden (shhhh!)

Changgyeonggung and Changdeokgung Palaces and Secret garden will be free entrance if you wear a traditional hanbok (which you surely should cause I think I enjoyed hanbok experience more than the palaces themselves,.. girls be girls I guess!) The place is massive and can easily take a few hours to explore. This complex is much less crowded than Gyeongbokgung Palace, so it is much more pleasant to my liking (architecture wise if you aren't an anthropologist or historian - you'll see very little difference). It is said online that Secret Garden is by reservation only but lady at the entrance just waved us in once she saw us in hanboks. There is a vending machine for drinks at one place but Id recommend to take some water and even snacks with you. Tip: these palaces and Secret Garden are closed on Monday! Id say this one will be my first choice to what palace to visit in Seoul. #koreatrip #100waysoftravel #southkorea #seoul #travel

Visit Seoul in the Spring

Visiting Seoul in the spring was a magical experience. The city was covered in blooming flowers, especially cherry blossoms, which added a special beauty to the streets and parks. The atmosphere was refreshing, and walking through Cheonggyecheon Park, where flowers were blooming everywhere, was delightful. Various events and festivals were held to welcome the spring. I also visited Changdeokgung Palace, which was even more enchanting this season. The scenery around the palace was stunning and added a romantic touch to the visit. Tasting fresh seasonal dishes was a delicious experience of Korean cuisine. Visit Seoul in the spring to enjoy the natural beauty and festive atmosphere. It's an unforgettable experience! 🌸🌼

Changdeokgung's Secret Garden scenery

With 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. #2024wish

Palace famous for secret garden during autumn

Changdeokgung 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 #autumn

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!

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 #southkorea

พระราชวังชางด๊อกกุง (Changdeokgung Palace)

Wow! I have never heard of this place. It's almost better than the grand palace. Great palace in Seoul. A real pleasant visit. Beautiful buildings. Less crowded. I would definitely recommend here. It also has a secret garden and another royal residence next door. So three places to visit. This might be the best palace in Seoul. You have to go to the Secret Garden inside to fully experience the palace. #เมืองนอกทิพย์

These beautiful dress is korean national dress hanbok. When you wear hanbok all the palaces are free to enter. I liked it a lot. And this dress gave me that feeling like I am princess of ancient Korea. I love traveling because it makes me WHO I AM. #happynewyear #happynewyear

Hanbok experience | Hanfu dressing how to shoot, the girl chooses clothes to enter the palace came to Korea a lot back, the hanbok experience is indeed the first time. A Changdeokgung dress up look~ The palace in light and shadow has magic. One day in Changdeokgung Palace

Dunhua Gate is a two-story gate and the entrance to Changdeokgung Palace. It used to be the palace before. When the It was the appearance of the year. The building is also very complete. As tourists are pouring into Gyeongbokgung Palace, it is quiet and comfortable. Every time there is a punctuality, there will be a tour guide outside the door asking visitors to explain the story of each palace. Chinese tour guides will also have, but maybe one or two times a day. The first time I came was followed by an English tour guide. The tour guide would like visitors to introduce the role of each palace, history, celebrities. Most of the Korean culture of that year was inherited from China. For Chinese tourists, even if they don't listen to the explanation, it is easy to understand the quaint palace from the appearance or the text.
