This event offers visitors the opportunity to stroll through the rear garden, where Joseon kings once rested, in the early morning. Without guides or narrators, participants can freely appreciate the trees, ponds, and pavilions that have stood alongside the palace for centuries. Visitors may also sit on benches prepared at Buyongji Pond and Aeryeonji Pond to enjoy moments of contemplation.


The tours will take place from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. each day, with a maximum of 25 participants per session. Tickets can be reserved through Interpark Ticket starting at 2:00 p.m. on May 12.



Changdeokgung Palace, established in 1405, is the palace where Joseon kings resided and governed for the longest period among all the royal palaces of the dynasty. Recognized as a representative example of East Asian palace architecture, it was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997.
