Gyeonghoeru Pavilion, South Korea


Postcard
Seoul is the capital and largest metropolis of South Korea, a megacity with over 10 million inhabitants.

Changdeokgung is one of the "Five Grand Palaces" built by the kings of the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1897). Gyeonghoeru (Pavilion of Joyous Meeting) is the oldest and most famous of Gyeongbokgung's pavilions.

It was used as a royal banquet hall during the Joseon dynasty. This two story pavilion was built in 1412, burned down by the Japanese in 1592, and reconstructed in 1867.
