Changgyeonggung Palace — Seoul
A historic royal palace in Jongno with Chundangji Pond, a greenhouse, gardens and heritage architecture. The official K-Royal Culture Festival guide lists general palace visiting 09:00–21:00, last admission 20:00, normally closed Mondays, adult ticket KRW 1,000. Distinguish this regular palace visit from separately reserved evening events such as the Oct 7–Nov 1 Mulbit Yeonhwa light show.
The palace's autumn night show runs October 7–November 1 Wed–Sun, but booking for core light projections is separately restricted. The Oct 7–11 Royal Culture Festival may affect holiday and regular closure patterns. Check official daily notices before visiting.
