A Glimpse into Joseon History

#seoulspots
Nestled quietly in the bustling heart of Seoul, Unhyeongung Palace offers a serene and intimate look into the late Joseon dynasty. This was not a grand royal palace, but rather the private residence of Heungseon Daewongun, the powerful father of Emperor Gojong. It's a place where history feels personal. The well-preserved hanok (traditional Korean houses) and elegant courtyards transport you back in time, allowing you to imagine the lives of the royal family and key political figures. Unlike the more crowded Gyeongbokgung or Changdeokgung, Unhyeongung provides a more peaceful and contemplative experience. The free admission is a wonderful bonus, making it an accessible and rewarding stop for any history enthusiast.
