The Changdeokgung Palace Office of the Royal Palaces and Tombs Center announced on May 6 that it will host the program "Silent Gesture, Walking Through the King's Morning Garden" for four days starting May 14.


This is a program that allows participants to walk through the Secret Garden for 90 minutes from 7:30 a.m., before it opens to the general public. Participants stroll between forest paths filled with the morning sunlight and tranquil palace buildings. They will also be able to tour the interior spaces of Seohyanggak and Yeonghwadang in the Juhapru area, as well as Aeryeonjeong-all of which are usually off-limits to visitors.


The program is conducted without any commentary or guided explanation. Participants are encouraged to walk and rest at their own pace, spending time focusing on their senses rather than words. A representative from the palace office stated, "Individual chairs for relaxation will be set up around Buyongji and Aeryeonji."


The program is open to adults aged 19 and above, with a maximum of 25 participants per session.
