Colorful dancheong and various patterns. This was the first sight I saw in front of the Honghwamoon, the main gate of Changgyung palace. Even the rain could not disturb the palace's beauty. Changgyung palace had many buildings, which were myungjunggeon, moonjunggeon, soongmoondang, haminjung, yungchoongeon, gyungchoongeon, hwangyunggeon, tongmyunggeon, yanghwadang and jipbokhyun. Teacher told us that the buildings which end with "geon" were the queens' place. They were deep inside the palace.

 Another thing we discovered was a string-with unique shape under dancheong. The string was once made of silk, but it was changed to metal. Its role was to protect dancheong from birds. Dancheong costed a lot, so protecting it was necessary.

 I heard a surprising story. Japanese named Changgyung palace to Changyungwon and made it to a zoo. It was an embarrassing incident, so I felt that I should respect other's culture as a nice Korean.
