Gyeonghoeru Pavilion at Gyeongbokgung Palace

A view through the palace gate frames Gyeonghoeru Pavilion’s elevated wooden hall perched on stone columns above its surrounding lotus pond at Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul. Intricately painted eaves, traditional red and green dancheong décor, and carved guardian sculptures evoke Korea’s Joseon-era royal architecture set against a backdrop of pine trees and distant hills.
