Changgyeonggung Palace at Night in Pictures (Seoul, South Korea)

In 2018, evening visits to Changgyeonggung Palace were only offered at special times. However, beginning this year you can visit there from 9:00am until 9:00pm from Tuesday until Sunday and the latest time that you can be admitted in is at 8:00pm. Please note that the palace is closed on Mondays.

Here are some pictures that I took with my wife last year. The place is underrated since everyone talks about Gyeongbokgung Palace and not many tourists know about this one. It's not that huge, but you can expect to spend about an hour here.
