Today, we went to Changgyeong Palace. King Seongjong built Changgyeong Palace for his mother and grandmother.
Changgyeong Palace has three sad historical stories. First, Sado's mother, Miss Jang, was killed. Second, Crown Prince Sado was killed in a rice chest. Third, Japan changed the palace to a zoo, but it was restored in 1984.
Changgyeong Palace has a gate called Honghwamun. Honghwamun is the most splendid gate in Seoul.
There is a building called Okcheongyo. The people made it because of evil spirits.
Another building is Myeongjeongjeon. It is the biggest building in Changgyeong Palace. It was a place for official events.
The king slept in the Hwangyeong.
Dancheong has five colors: red, black, green, white, and yellow.
Japsang protects the building from fire. The figures are a Buddhist monk, a monkey, and a pig.
This trip was fun, and I prefer to live in Changgyeong Palace.
* Hi,
Good job! Try to not say '... on Changgyeong Palace," though. It's '... in Changgyeong Palace.' |
