I went to Geongun Palace.                                       

The real name of the palace is Gyeongun Palace but the Japanese changed it to Deoksu Palace.

It has western styled buildings.

Daehanmun is the main gate of the palace.

Junghwajeon is a place for official events such as coronations and royal weddings.

We could go inside of the Junghwajeon because it's Saturday.

Seokeodang is a two story building which Inmok the Queen mother was locked in by Prince Gwanghae.

Seokjojeon is a western style stone building.

Jeonggwangheon shows both Korean and Western architecture designs.

Gojong enjoyed drinking coffee at Jeonggwangheon.

Jubang Sanggung and Daeryeong suksu were special cooks.

The Jubang Sangung  made daily food.

The Daeryeong suksu made party food.

The Daeryeong suksu is a man.

I also learned the difference between phoenix and dragon.

Phoenix stands for dynasty and dragon stands for empire.
