Hello, My name is Rachel. Today I went Gyeongungung. Gyeongungung has another name, "Deoksugung". But "Deoksugung" is changed by Japanes. So we said Gyeongungung is collet.

Daehanmun is the main gate of Gyeonungung. Originally, Gyeonungung's main gate is Inhwamun, but roads around is narrow, so main gate changed to Daehanmun.

Junghwajeon is in the middle of palace, there place for official events. and also throne hall.

Seokeodang is two storey building. Gwanghaegun lock up Inmok, Queen Mother.
