First step I took in the Gueongun Palace was in front of the Çϸ¶ºñ. It's kind of a gravestone which tells the nations who are coming in to the Gyeongun Palace to get off from horses and sedan chairs because ancient people thought it was kind of a sacred place. There is another name for Gyeongun Palace. It is more popular than the name Gyengun Palace. It is Deoksu Palace. The name was changed by the Japanese during the Japanese occupation period. There are two people who are known well for living in this palace-King Seongjong's older brother and King Gojong. Anyways, Gyeongun palace became the most important main palace after the Imjin war. Junghwajeon, located in the middle of Gyeongun Palace, is the main building in the palace. Important meetings were happened there. Also, there is a beautifully decorated King's throne there. When I took some steps from the Junghwajeon, I could see a two- story building. It is Seokeodang. Queen Inmok was locked in Seokeodang for 10years because of the order of Prince Gwanghae. Another building that fascinated me is called Jeonggwangheon. I could see that King Gojong liked to mix the style of Korean and Western. How could I? Well, I could see the chandelier hanging in the ceiling. Jeonggwangheon is also famous for the first coffee-drank place. King Gojong liked to drink coffe in Jeonggwangheon with his courtiers. It was nice to go to Gyeongun Palace and if I heard explanation about the Gyeongun Palace in Korean, it would be different. I think it was a unconventional and great expeirience touring Gyeongun Palace with English explanation.
