It's been a while since I had time, so I went to Changdeokgung Palace and Changgyeonggung Palace. I looked around leisurely for about 5 hours, but since it was a weekday, there were no people and it rained until the morning, so the atmosphere was nice. I've been to Changdeokgung Palace nearly 10 times, but I feel different every time I go.

In this article, I will introduce the plaques within Changdeokgung Palace and discuss other photos separately.

cabinet. This area was restored in the 2000s as the area of the palace cabinet. There is a search office, Gyujanggak, and book storage.

From here, the area of the palace cabinet to the east of Geumcheon includes Seonwonjeon, Yangjidang, Yakbang, and Yeolmungwan.

The royal palace passes through three gates and a bridge. Gyeongbokgung Palace passes through Gwanghwamun - Heungnyemun - Yeongje Bridge - Geunjeongmun to reach Geunjeongjeon, while Changdeokgung Palace passes through Donhwamun - Geumcheongyo - Jinseonmun - Injeongmun to reach Injeongjeon.

You have to turn twice from Donhwamun, the main gate, to get to Injeongjeon. The front yard of Injeongmun, which is the second bend, is in a trapezoidal shape and is considered to have utilized a natural feature. Here, in the front yard, there were government offices such as Jeongcheong, Sangseowon, and Guard Office.

To the left and right of Injeongjeon are the small narrow gates, Sungbeommun and Gwangbeommun, and their handwriting is very different, making it interesting to look at them.

If you go straight from the front yard of Injeongmun to Injeongjeon without turning, you will pass Sukjangmun and come to Pyeonjeon and Chimjeon.

The signboard of Seonjeonjeon, Pyeonjeonin.

However, Seonjeongjeon was small in scale, so Sungmundang, which was originally used as a sleeping quarters, was renamed Huijeongdang and used as Pyeonjeon.

Behind Huijeongdang are Daejojeon and Gyeonghungak.

Heungbokheon next to Daejojeon is also known as the place where the Korea-Japan Annexation Treaty was signed.

From here, there is a plaque in the area around Seongjeonggak, the eastern palace, that reads <Jiphui> written by King Gojong.

The plaque below is said to be Seunghwaru, a place where books were stored.

From here, there is a signboard in the Nakseonjae area. Nakseonjae was built during the reign of King Heonjong and was not painted with dancheong like ordinary houses. It can be seen as similar to Geoncheong Palace in Gyeongbokgung Palace, and it is also known to have been used by members of the imperial family of the Korean Empire until recently. Empress Sunmyeong, the second wife of King Sunjong, lived there until 1966, and Queen Yeongchin's wife Lee Bang-ja lived there until 1989.

The plaques in the back garden and Changgyeonggung Palace will be discussed in the next article due to the limited number of photos.
