昌庆宫

首尔有许多著名的宫阙，最为人所知的莫过于景福宫、德寿宫，以及拥有「祕苑」的昌德宫。昌庆宫虽也是著名宫殿之一，但鲜少成为前往观光的旅人首选景点名单。昌庆宫虽不似其他宫殿般名声响亮，但也许是这宫殿所拥有的悲伤历史，使得它有不同于其它宫殿的宁静与沉稳感。特别推荐在秋冬两季前往欣赏昌庆宫多变的植物色彩，宫内地形平坦，相较于略有挑战性的祕苑是比较适合散步的。记得第一次在秋天造访昌庆宫时，便被它的湖畔美景所震慑。昌庆宫与昌德宫相连，其实也可以游览昌德宫再「顺便」到昌庆宫一游!

昌庆宫：还真以为昌德宫跟昌庆宫就是一墙之隔呢结果还要直走然后转左，走很长的一截坡路才可以走到。门票1000每成人，从这票价都可以看出昌庆宫有多小。昌德宫都还能看见不少游客买票，那昌庆宫就真的是门可罗雀的感觉了：

you can literally walk into the place though the back-gate of Changduk-palace. But still need to buy the ticket.

This palace is much smaller, but the scenery is beautiful when you visit during Autumn. There are many photogenic spot you can find and to take gorgeous pictures.

I have to say, the Guards were all actors. It was OK to watch but you have not missed anything if you missed it.

This palace is another great historical place you should visit. When I was there the Cherry trees were in full bloom & the honey bees were all over them. That was another extra bonus to see that made it even better.

The most well preserved Korean palace and it offers the historic appreciation of Korea and Korean culture.Guided tours are available and it is a beautiful palace.

Massive area to cover, but overall all the buildings are relatively the same. You can't go inside, only look from outside. In winter it gets cold doing such activity. Nonetheless worth going to. Not like indoor palaces of England or Turkey.

MRT: Exit 4 of Hyehwa Station, walk for 10mins.Glad that we book the city walking tour at visitseoul.net for a free tour guide!

I visited this Palace (along with the neighbouring Changdeokgung Palace) at the end of November 2014 whilst on a work related trip to Korea. In my opinion this Palace is not as beautiful or a grand as it's neighbour but it does have more of a tranquil feel to it as you walk it's tree lined paths. Entrance to Changgyeonggung Palace is very cheap at KWon 1,000 (about GB£0.60) and hence great value!You can also walk north of the Changgyeonggung Palace in the lovely 'Changdook Park' to the 'Changgyeonggung Greenhouse (Daeonsil)'. This is a large Victorian Glasshouse, built in 1909 next to an ornamental lake, that is home to some amazing plants... Well worth a visit.

Easy walk, beautiful area, many corners to take photos. Family friendly location. Get in early to join the tour, bright your hat : ) and good shoes. You need more than 3 hours to walk around.

I'd had a shockingly bad experience when I was in Seoul. After I was kind of wandering the city a bit of a mess, and I got off the tour bus at Changgyeonggung Palace without really thinking about it. At first I thought it was just a big court yard with a couple nice buildings around it, but the longer I stayed the more I realized the place is HUGE there's so much to see and lots of hidden little places which are beautiful to sit and enjoy the surroundings. I spent a long time walking through the trees out the back section and winding through the Palace building, it was so peaceful. Helped me get over my not so great encounter: PVery lovely stop if you're on a city tour bus! Recommend it

It was amazing with the beautiful landscape and wonderful well kept history structures. You can also get storytellings about the palace. I visited there in summer, it was really cool and impressive.

Always love the chance to get back to the history of Korea and its' people and rulers. The change of pace is also a welcome relief from the over hurried reality of life in modern Korean society south of the 38th Parallel. Go. Enjoy!

This place is huge but we lack to enjoy it... Maybe because the huge grades were death because the temperature and the buildings were very simple compared to other palaces. I'm sure that in other season the huge parked are great places for a picnic.
