Today I went to the Gyeongun Palace. It's real name is Deoksu Palace.

Originally, Gyeongun Palace was house of the older

brother of king Seonjong. King Gojong rebuit it and announced the change of the name of Joseon to Deahanjeguk.

Emperor Gojong lived for 12 more years, and died in Gyeongun Palace.

I thought king Gojong is great king, be cause he effort to protect from Japan.

Daehanmun is the main gate of Gyeongun Palace.

Junghwajeon was the place for the official events. Civil and military officials stood by rank stone on ceremonial occasions. Seokeodang is the only two-story building in the palace.

Inmok the Queen Mother was locked in Seokeodang by the order of prince Gwanghae. But king Injo was saved Inmok Queen. I thought this storu is so creepy.

Jeukjodang was the palce for coronation.

This is where Prince Gwanghae, King Injo and Sunjo came to the throne.

Junmyeogdang was place for received foreign ministers as guest here.

Hamneongjeon was used as the king's sleeping place, king Gojong dead here.

Deokhongjeon was reception hall for foreign guest.

Seokjojeon is a western style stone building.

I don't like here, because it had rude story.

Jeonggwangheon was the relaxing place for king Gojong.

King Gojong drank coffee here, so this place is my favorite place. Because it have korean styles and western styles.

 In Gyeongun Palace is have many sad stories.

I like King Gojong because he efforts to protect  Daehanjeguk from Japan. So we can live in Daehanminguk.
