Architect leads palace tour
Architect Cho In-souk offers a tour of Changdeok Palace for the Royal Asiatic Society (RAS) Korea.
She will lead the way through palace buildings and the rear garden, highlighting the symbolic, practical and physical layout of the spaces.
“The palace displays a perfect harmony between nature and its buildings, with its spectacular layout standing of the mountain at its back and the surrounding nature embraced as a part of landscape gardening,” she wrote in an online invitation.
The tour costs 20,000 won for RAS Korea members and 25,000 won for non-members, plus an additional payment for entry into the palace and secret garden. Participants are reminded to wear masks.
