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. My teacher told us that the buildings that end with "geon" were the queens' buildings. They were deep inside the palace.

Another thing that we discovered was a string with a unique shape, which was under the Dancheong. The string was once made of silk, but it was changed to metal. It protected the Dancheong from birds. Dancheong cost a lot, so protecting it was necessary.

I heard a surprising story. The Japanese renamed Changgyung Palace Changyungwon and turned it into a zoo. It was an embarrassing incident, so I feel that I should respect others' cultures as a nice Korean.

* Hi,

Great job! I especially liked this line: "Even the rain could not disturb the palace's beauty." I liked the last sentence, too: "It was an embarrassing incident, so I feel that I should respect others' cultures as a nice Korean." You are a nice person!
