Changgyeonggung Palace

Palace · Jongno, Seoul

A Joseon palace in Jongno, Seoul, originally built as a residential space for elder members of the royal family. It was reorganized during the reign of King Seongjong and was connected to Changdeokgung, together forming the East Palace complex. It is well known as the tragic stage where King Yeongjo had his son Prince Sado locked in a rice chest. Halls including Myeongjeongjeon and a large garden remain, making it pleasant to stroll while recalling the historical backdrop of the film 'Sado'.
