Gyeonghuigung Palace is where the founder of the Joseon Dynasty, Lee Seong-gye, lived. Compared to the other palaces, there really isn't much left here, although the government has rebuilt some buildings, it is still largely a historical park.

When I was visiting, it was lunchtime and I saw many office workers eating their lunchbox sandwiches on the benches here. It's quite nice to have such a historical park in the city center.
