Discovering the Secret Gardens of South Korea
The Changdeokgung Moonlight Tour offers visitors a rare, enchanting journey through South Korea’s historic royal architecture under the cover of night. As autumn breezes signal the change of season, visitors gather at Geumhomun Gate, holding traditional lanterns to light their 100-minute nocturnal walk through a 600-year-old UNESCO World Heritage palace.
A Magical Night Walk With Royal Traditions
Guided by expert storytellers, participants explore majestic throne halls, the serene Buyongji pond, and catch glimpses of performers dressed as Joseon-era kings and queens. The autumn 2026 program, hosted by the National Heritage Administration, runs from September 10 through October 17, offering a limited number of attendees an unforgettable immersion into traditional music, royal architecture, and Korean heritage.
