🌙 Changgyeonggung Night Tour Highlights
Originally built as a royal villa during the Joseon Dynasty, Changgyeonggung Palace transforms into a magical place after sunset. The peaceful, historic atmosphere combined with modern media art creates a unique night experience.
Despite visiting on a weekday, the place was bustling—proof that this is one of Seoul’s hottest spots!
As you pass through Honghwamun Gate, cross Okcheongyo Bridge, and go beyond Myeongjeongmun, you'll reach Myeongjeongjeon Hall—the oldest main hall among Joseon palaces, where royal ceremonies were held.
Inside, don’t miss the iconic Irworobongdo painting behind the king’s throne—an incredible sight.
The night view of traditional Hanok architecture is simply stunning. It's a perfect date course for a relaxing evening stroll after dinner.
💡 Mulbit Yeonhwa Show Info
This media art show features 8 themed scenes reflecting light and water:
- Path of Conversation

- Breath of Water
- Light of Peace
- Crimson Water Light
- Eternal Palace
The full show runs until May 18, 2025, after which only selected scenes will be displayed.
⏳ Pro Tips:
- Arrive early! If you come exactly at 8 PM, you’ll end up far from the front.
- After the first show ends, many people leave—move forward for a better view in the next session.
- Follow the crowd to Chundangji Pond—you won’t get lost!
The show lasts 18 minutes, blending natural beauty with mesmerizing projections on water. It’s truly jaw-dropping.
Even walking alone, I felt it was too beautiful not to share—this is definitely a place to visit with someone special!
Don't forget to check out the glowing Greenhouse behind Chundangji Pond if you have time.
