Changdeokgung Secret Garden

Zen in the Heart of the City (★★★★★)
I was amazed at how a space of this size and natural state could be preserved right in the middle of a bustling metropolis. The moment you step past the entrance, the noise of Seoul melts away, replaced by the sounds of leaves rustling and water flowing. The king’s intention to create a peaceful sanctuary for rest is perfectly realized. It's an oasis that embodies the "zen" concept, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a moment of calm and introspection. The air here is noticeably cleaner and fresher than the city below.
