The only palace in Seoul is the palace of the only Chinese-Western combination, where you can enjoy the earliest Western architecture in Korea - Jingguan - which was built in 1900. Gao Zong once drank coffee and leisure here, behind a narrow and long secret underground passage leading to the Russian mansion, and now still exists. The stone temple and the Jingguan are all existing Western-style buildings in Qingyun Palace, originally built by the British and belonging to the British company. Later, Gao Zong moved his residence from the Russian mansion to this place, and used it as an official palace until his death. At the main entrance of Deshou Palace, in front of Dahan Gate, you can see the ceremony of the Chang Shimen of the Palace. The east museum of the stone building is the museum of cultural relics in the palace, and the west museum is the branch of the National Modern Art Museum.

    Visited during Autumn but seems that the leaves dropped pretty fast mostly fallen. Some part still looking beautiful especially the glass house. But the palace is really big so set aside 1-2hours to walk around.

    Initially the home of grand prince, until it became the residence of the royal family for the Joseon monarchy.

    Deshou Palace is the only one in many palaces in Seoul that combines East and West. Every day, 11:00, 14:00, 15:30 will be held at the main entrance of the first gatekeeper's post change ceremony. During the process, there will be explanations in English, Japanese and Chinese. After the ceremony, tourists can take photos at will, and staff will help take photos. Peripheral recommendation can see Deshou Palace Stone Wall Road, the street outside the South Wall, known as "100 beautiful streets in Korea" one of the tree-lined roads and stone walls into one, creating an antique flavor. Nearby is Seoul Square on the east, Seoul City Hall Building, Seoul Library, Qingxi Square on the northeast, Guanghua Gate Square, Zhendong Theater on the west, Seoul History Museum on the southwest, Seoul Municipal Art Museum on the south, Chongli Gate on the South and South Gate Market on the southeast.
