The central view of the Changdeokgung Secret Garden (후원) is often the exquisite Buyongji Pond (부용지) and its surrounding structures. The square pond, the elegant Buyongjeong Pavilion (부용정), and the nearby Yeonghwadang Hall (영화당) create a profound atmosphere of refined contemplation.
The environment is visually balanced, capturing the essence of the cheonwonjibang (round sky, square earth) philosophy. The water acts as a mirror, doubling the beauty of the architecture and the seasonal foliage. This section perfectly illustrates the royal family's taste, offering a tranquil space where they could study, write poetry, and appreciate the serene elegance of the Joseon era.
