🏯 World Heritage Changdeok Palace Tour: The Soul of the Joseon Dynasty

Changdeokgung Palace was built in 1405 by King Taejong, the third king of the Joseon Dynasty, as a secondary palace. Later, it was destroyed during the Japanese invasions of Korea and rebuilt in 1611. Connected with Changgyeonggung, it became Changdeokgung, and until the reconstruction of Gyeongbokgung in the 5th year of King Gojong’s reign (1868), it served as the main palace for over 250 years. Let’s take a walk through the palace most beloved by the kings of the Joseon Dynasty.

Review for: World Heritage Changdeok Palace

Today we visited Changdeok Palace with our guide Young, and it was a wonderful experience. She explained everything clearly and with real passion, making the history come alive without feeling overwhelming. The tour was perfectly paced and engaging for both me and my daughter. Thanks to Young, this beautiful palace became truly meaningful. Highly recommended!

Review for: World Heritage Changdeok Palace

I really enjoyed my tour with Mrs Young. She is a very thoughtful and dynamic person and was very helpful with plenty of information about Korean history and culture as related to both the palace and a more general point of view. I would certainly recommend her as a distinguished tourist guide and hope to meet her again for another tour. I would like to thank her again for her work and kindness. ☺️🤩

Grace provided an exceptional guided tour of Changdeokgung Palace. Her knowledge of its history, architecture, and the palace’s harmony with its natural surroundings was both deep and engaging, bringing the grounds to life through vivid storytelling. She expertly guided us through the complex, explaining cultural nuances and key historical moments with clear English. Her passion for Korean heritage was contagious, making the tour educational and genuinely enjoyable. Grace’s professional yet warm demeanour ensured everything ran smoothly from start to finish. We gained a much deeper appreciation for this UNESCO World Heritage site thanks entirely to her insights, and I would recommend her services to any visitor without hesitation.
