A UNESCO World Heritage Site and the best-preserved of Seoul's royal palaces, Changdeokgung is particularly admired for its rear Secret Garden — a 78-acre landscape of ponds, pavilions, and centuries-old trees that was reserved for the exclusive use of the royal family. The garden's autumn colours are considered among the most photographed in the country.
