A Serene Escape in the Heart of Seoul : Hyangwonjeong Pavilion

#newyearnewtrip #travelanywhere #myitinerary
One of the most enchanting sights in Gyeongbokgung Palace is the Hyangwonjeong Pavilion, a stunning hexagonal pavilion that seems to float on a serene pond. During my visit, I was captivated by its timeless beauty and the peaceful ambiance it exudes.

The pavilion, originally built for the royal family’s leisure, is a perfect example of traditional Korean design. Its graceful curves and intricate details are a testament to the craftsmanship of the Joseon Dynasty. The small island it sits on is connected by a charming wooden bridge, adding to the fairytale-like atmosphere.

What struck me most was the sense of tranquility that surrounds Hyangwonjeong. As I stood by the pond, watching the pavilion’s reflection ripple in the water, I felt a deep connection to Korea’s rich cultural heritage.
