Changdeokgung Palace - the highest level of Korean gardens

Changdeokgung Palace is located on the east side of the main palace, Gyeongbokgung Palace, so it is called the Eastern Palace. It was also the palace used by the kings the longest during the Joseon Dynasty. Compared with other palaces, Changdeokgung Palace is well preserved and was built with minimal human influence, thus blending perfectly with the surrounding natural terrain. The Back Garden is particularly famous. It is the only back garden of a palace in South Korea. It represents the highest level of Korean gardens.
