Marvelous pavilion and bridge, surrounded by a pond in all its glory
This two-story pavilion is an exquisite example of Korean beauty. Located in Gyeongbokgung Palace, it was destroyed during the Korean War and has since been renovated and restored to its original state. Surrounded by maple trees and ponds, it looks stunning and is a great place to take photos with the tranquil backdrop of Hyesokgyo Bridge. You can also take a stroll or go on an outing with a view of N Seoul Tower and Inwangsan Mountain.
