Changgyeonggung
창경궁
Jongno, Seoul · 서울
A palace built in 1483 for the dowager queens, later reduced to a zoo under Japanese rule and restored since — its 1909 iron-and-glass botanical house survives.
Why it’s worth it
It connects to Changdeokgung by a single gate, so you can do two palaces on one walk. The greenhouse reflected in the pond at dusk is the photograph.
