Injeongmun Gate is the main gate leading into Changdeokgung Palace and its courtyard where Injeongjeon Hall is located. With a name meaning “benevolent rule,” Injeonjeon Hall was used for matters relating to the king’s ruling of the nation, and was used for conducting state affairs, including the coronation of a new king and prince, and royal weddings. Therefore this hall is by far the most important of all the buildings in Changdeokgung Palace. Daejojeon HallHuwon Garden

Daejojeon Hall, the residence of the queen, was built with Western features, including a narrow wooden veranda, glass windows, and furniture. This modern interior design makes Daejojeon Hall unique among palace buildings. The royal garden is located in the northern section of Changdeokgung Palace. Serving in various ways depending on the circumstances, Huwon Garden was most often used as a resting space for the king. The garden is home to trees planted hundreds of years ago, and small pavilions and fountains complete the traditional Korean style garden. In order to preserve the historical integrity of the Huwon, visitors must sign-up for a guided palace tour in advance.
