Humble Yeongyeongdang Pavilion in the Secret Garden of Changdeokgung Palace

While exploring Yeongyeongdang Pavilion in the Secret Garden of Changdeokgung Palace, I could feel the profound charm hidden within its simple beauty. 🌳

The pavilion, devoid of ornate dancheong (traditional decorative coloring on wooden buildings), exuded a calm and neat atmosphere, which instead highlighted its understated elegance.

The warm texture of the wood and the straightforward structure evoked the living spaces of Joseon-era scholars, offering a glimpse into the practical yet refined architectural aesthetics of the time. 🔮

The neatly arranged courtyard and the serene surrounding scenery harmonized perfectly with the simplicity of Yeongyeongdang, bringing a sense of peace just by being there. Yeongyeongdang felt like a special pavilion that moved the heart with its restraint and grace, rather than opulence. 🍁
