Secret Garden In Changdeokgung Palace

Visitors to Seoul should not pass up the chance to see Changdeokgung Palace's Secret Garden, which is incredibly beautiful. This expansive garden area is hidden at the back of the castle and has intricately designed pagodas, ponds, and other amenities suited for a prince or princess. Numerous temples, pavilions, ponds, and unusual plants and animals can be found in Huwon, a sizable "hidden garden" of natural beauty behind Changdeokgung Palace. It is an exceptional illustration of a Korean garden design that harmoniously blends with the surrounding landscape. The excellent design has been tailored to the ridges, geology, and geography of Mount Bugaksan. This garden can be seen as one of the Best Places to Visit in Seoul.

One of Seoul's most picturesque locations, The Secret Garden is also one of the least frequented. This isn't because it's unpopular; on the contrary. For centuries, only members of the royal family were permitted access to this palace garden, and only a few tour groups are permitted daily. To reserve your tour, arrive early. You can enter Changdeokgung Palace for free if you are dressed in hanbok (and look stunning).

The Secret Garden can be visited at any time. View cherry blossoms in the spring, a plethora of wildlife in the summer, crunchy fall leaves in the fall, and frozen, white ponds in the winter. Go to Anguk Station on the subway, then turn left to travel to Changdeokgung Palace. You must schedule a guided tour in order to enter the Secret Garden. Book as soon as you arrive because tours tend to sell out quickly.
