The largest of the Five Grand Palaces (the others being Gyeonghuigung, Deoksugung, Changgyeonggung, Changdeokgung), Gyeongbokgung served as the main palace of the Joseon Dynasty.

Changdeokgung is also known as Donggwol, the Eastern Palace, because of its location to the east of Gyeongbokgung.
For 270 years, the palace was home to the Joseon government and was also the favored residence of many Joseon Dynasty kings.
This makes Changdeokgung the longest-serving royal residential palace.
Compared to other palaces, Changdeokgung is well-preserved and still has many of its original features.
A particular virtue of Changdeokgung is the way its buildings blend into the surrounding landscape.
The palace's rear garden, Huwon, is considered an excellent example of Korean garden design and is the only rear garden of any Korean palace. In 1997, Changdeokgung was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Schedules vary depending on the bus route involved but most routes start at 4:30 a.m. with the last bus of the day making its round at 1 a.m.
One of the advantages of traveling on a bus is that you can actually enjoy the sights and sounds of the various neighborhoods around Seoul.
If it’s traffic you’re worried about, bus routes do not suffer the same congestion as normal traffic routes.
