	:::: Welcome To Jongno-Gu :::
		However, on 1760 (the 36th year of the King Yeongjo), as the name of Gyeongdeokgung was the homophone with Gyeongdeok, the epithet of the King Wonjong, the name of Gyeongdeokgung was changed to Gyeonghuigung.
		Most of Gyeonghuigung were burnt down in 1829 (the 29th year of the King Sunjo), but restored in 1831 (the 31st year of the King Sunjo), and the restoration work was carried out during the 10th (1859) and the 11th year of the King Cheoljong.
		Heonghwamun was moved to the Bukmun in 1932 and used as the main gate of Shilla Hotel until recently and moved to Gyeonghuigung.

	:::: Welcome To Jongno-Gu :::
		Gyeongdeokgung was later on called Gyeonghuigung by the order of the King Yongjo, and Changdeokgung, the palace in the east, was renamed the palace in the west.
		Gyeonghuigung was a palace using the topography of sloped hill, and its beauty was prominently outstanding in terms of artistic and architectural sense.
		The scale of Gyeonghuigung was so large that the King Gojong made an overpass connecting Gyeonghuigung to Deoksugung in 1905.

		Gyeonghuigung Palace was built in 1616 by Gwanghaegun (1608-1623) on the site of King Taejo's private residence.
		It was formerly called Gyeongdokgung but was renamed Gyeonghuigung in 1760 during the reign of King Yeongjo.

	Google Earth Community: Gyeonghuigung Palace, Seoul
		Gyeonghuigung Palace was completed after an extended period of construction, during the 12th year of the reign of Gwanghaegun (1620).
		After the Japanese invasion in 1592, Changdeokgung Place was used as the residence of the king, while Gyeonghuigung Palace was used as a detached palace.
		During its heyday, Gyeonghuigung comprised more than 100 halls, most of which were burnt down in two separate conflagrations, one during the 29th year of the reign of King Sunjo (1829) and the other during the 20th year of the reign of King Gojong.

		Today I went with SuYoung to one of the old palaces, Gyeonghuigung (경희궁 慶熙宮).
		If ever you've been anywhere in Seoul, you know how impossible it is to get a picture without anyone in it, ruining the shot.

		Built in 1616 as a detached palace, Gyeonghuigung (The Palace of Shining Bliss)has had rather a traumatic history.
		Burnt down in 1829, the palace was restored a mere two years later only to suffer later humiliation at the hands of the Japanese, who tore down the buildings and built Gyeongseong Junior High School on the site.
		However, if you value a little quiet while you wander through an historic place that was in use for over 290 years, then I'd highly recommend a trip to one of Seoul's unknown gems.

		An early morning photo of the inner courtyard of Gyeonghuigung Palace.
		It's not a major palace and if I remember it was only used by relatives of the king.
		The best part though is the fact that it is not known and not many people are ever visiting it if you ever pass by.

		Located in the center of the city and surrounded by skyscrapers, Deoksugung Palace offers a very different, unlikely atmosphere among its concrete surroundings.
		King Gojong and his son (Sunjong, the last king of the Joseon era) took refuge in 1896 here after Gojong's queen, Myeongseonghwanghu, was murdered by the Japanese.
		Gyeonghuigung Palace is one of 5 Joseon era palaces located in Seoul, and it is said that originally the palace complex covered much ground and was connected to Deoksugung Palace through a raised bridge.

		Park Hee-soo, the curator for the exhibition "Korean Wave, Wearing Hanbok" ― held in the Seoul Museum of Art's Gyeonghuigung annex ― who also writes newspaper columns on hanbok, stated, "The gyeryang hanbok of the 1990s failed to evolve into 'fashion'.
		Park said that the recent international attention given to hanbok is a result of perfect timing in terms of the Korean hanbok market producing authentic-looking hanbok that are "fashionably modernized" in the midst of the Korean wave.
		The "Korean Wave, Wearing Hanbok" exhibition runs through April 25 and is held in Seoul Museum of Art's Gyeonghuigung annex in northern Seoul.

		As a result, Seoul has several beautiful ancient palaces such as Gyeongbokgung, Gyeonghuigung, Deoksugung, Changgyeonggung, and Changdeokgung.
		The palaces provide glimpse of the culture and heritages of long ago.

		The Gyeonghuigung palace with the beautiful Heunghwamun gate is just behind the museum, and don’t miss the restored palace bridge that is in front of the museum at the entrance to the main road.
		Each of the palaces has its merits and visiting any one of them (except Gyeonghuigung, of which virtually nothing is left) will give a good feel for the architecture and royal life of the Joseon dynasty.
		For arguably the best single piece of Joseon architecture, go to Gyeonghuigung to see the Heunghwamun, although it is now positioned totally out of context and the presence of nearby skyscrapers has almost destroyed the impact: surely it would be better to place it back in line further up the slope?
