「 Deoksugung Palace 」
One of Old Palaces in Seoul
Written by Susan LIM
Deoksugung Palace
is one of five royal palaces of the
Joseon Dynasty where the trace of
modern history of Korea is preserved.
Though Deoksugung Palace
is the smallest of five palaces, it is the
only palace among the palaces of Seoul
where there are modern-style walks and
Western style gardens. It's a building that
is well-mixed with the Middle Ages
and modern times.

There are wonderful fountains and
gardens in front of the art museum.

traditional Korean buildings are decorated
with Danchung, which is a drawing of
various patterns using five colors of blue,
red, yellow, white, and black as a base.
On one side of the old palace,
there is a small pond that looks as old
as the old palace and there is also an
old big tree that tells the time.
Deoksugung Palace is also famous
for its elegant stone-wall road.
