About

A night program through Changgyeonggung and the UNESCO-listed Changdeokgung rear garden — together once called Donggwol, the East Palace: an immersive 60-minute tour guided by a court painter character, then 40 minutes free in the moonlit Secret Garden. Four sessions nightly, 50 people each.

Description translated from official Korean tourism data. Details can change — verify with the organizer before you go.
