Today I went to Gyeongun Palace . Gyeongun Palace is also known as "Deoksu Palace," which many people today know it as. Deoksu Palace was named as such when the Joseon people were colonized by Japan. Gyeongun Palace has many features that make it different from other palaces, like Gyeongun Palace's main gate, Daehan mun (대한문) and 중화전. The "dapdo" in front of both buildings have dragons printed on them. Only the dapdo in Gyeongun Palace have dragons on them. The dapdo in other palaces have phoenixes. Also, the signboards on a few buildings are printed in gold. Dragons and the color gold were only used to represent the emperor. Gyeongun palace was used during the Daehan Empire.
There are two western style buildings. Jeong Gwang Heon is mixed with western and oriental styles. In Jeong Gwang Heon, Gojong used to drink coffee. I think Gyeongun Palace is very unique because it has both western and Korean style buildings.
