Top 5 - Hyangwonjeong Pavilion, Gyeongbokgung Palace
This is my fifth most downloaded picture, with 230 downloads and almost 30 thousand views! (as of January 6th, 2024)
I visited the Gyeongbokgung Palace Grounds almost at the end of my journey through Seoul, and let me tell you, it was worth every bump on the road. From the nights spent reading through articles, deciding what I might do, which places were worth spending the very limited time I had, I place this one in my top 3. The grounds were beautiful, green with trees and carefully cared for gardens. The lakes and streams were enchanting, and the fish colorful. It rained during my last visit, and even though I didn’t like the idea of being wet for the hour ride back home, I liked the idea of running through the rain, snapping pictures where I could and giggling with tourists that stayed within the various buildings.
One of the things I liked most about visiting Seoul, was the incredible architecture, and the thoughtful planning that went into each space. Where I come from, you cannot find a permanent building dating back more than 250 years. It is fascinating to me to see the history of those beautiful places, to think of the time spent crafting each panel, and the amount of people that have stood where I was. That’s what I remember when I see this picture.
Well, and it’s also a good picture.

There's one thing however the Hyangwonjeong Pavilion is truly exceptional, if we could find a well written description of it and its history we can use that, right now what we have is very succinct, how do we make the link to that pavilion well in the chapter before our trader visits these palaces before they even open for the public, and that place in particular he visits often

📍 Hyangwonjeong (Korean: 향원정; Hanja: 香遠亭), or Hyangwonjeong Pavilion
It's a small, two-story hexagonal pavilion built around 1873 by the order of King Gojong when Geoncheonggung residence was built to the north within Gyeongbokgung.
The pavilion was constructed on an artificial island of a lake named Hyangwonji (Korean: 향원지; Hanja: 香遠池), and a bridge named Chwihyanggyo (Korean: 취향교; Hanja: 醉香橋) connects it to the palace grounds. The name Hyangwonjeong is loosely translated as "Pavilion of Far-Reaching Fragrance", while Chwihyanggyo is "Bridge Intoxicated with Fragrance".
The bridge Chwihyanggyo was originally located on the north side of the island and was the longest bridge constructed purely of wood during the Joseon dynasty; however, it was destroyed during the Korean War. The bridge was reconstructed in its present form on the south side of the island in 1953 but is now being relocated to its original location on the north side. The reconstruction is expected to be completed in 2019.

So we have visited atleast more than a dozen links but it paid off, first Changgyeonggung has stolen the show, and now we know that the description of Changgyeonggung is more than a description it is a visit, that takes place at night, so we are going to post the blog article that we have found as such and take it from there in order to put a personal touch in it such as a first person perspective, its a well written article from Yonsei University, also with beautiful pictures, nevertheless we have also source a section about the Hyangwonjeong Pavilion of Gyeongbokgung that we can use later on, I think on a first date with the waitress should be perfect
