Today I visited Unhyeongung Palace. Have you ever been to Unhyeongung Palace? If you haven't yet, I'll take you to Unhyeonggung where used to be Heungsun Daewongun's personal house. Let's go visit Noan dang, Norak dang, and Iro dang.
First destination is Noan dang. Noan dang is men's living area. "Noan" means 'living comfortable in old age'. Also, Heungsun Daewongun met guests and sadly died here. I wonder what men did while resting there.
Next destination is Norak dang. Norak dang is women's living area. Empress Myeongsung had lessons here to become queen. Empress Myeongsung and King Gojong had wedding ceremony here. I am curious how it felt having a wedding there. It should have been comfortable because it was where she lived.
Last destination is Iro dang. Iro dang is where Heungsun Daewongun's wife stayed. It was built and used as another Anchae after the marriage of King Gojong and Empress Myeongseong. It looks smaller than Norak dang.
To conclude, was it useful to learn about Unhyeongung? For me, it was impressive learning. Someday if possible, I want to go inside Norak dang and feel being the queen. I recommend you to come and have a new experience in Unhyeongung like me, but maybe better in warmer day.
Thank you!!!
