不知不觉在昌德宫逛了整个下午，连午餐也忘了吃。当宫内响起要关门的广播时，我们只好依依不舍的当了最后一位离场的游客。夕阳西下的时候，气温开始下降。为了不要冷着，我们只好欣欣然的回房加衣。
It took us almost 4 hours visiting the palace. We were forced to leave as the last two visitors when the closing announcement was made. We were so excited visiting that we forgot to have our lunch, opsss... Finding that the weather was turning cold when the sun going down, we decided to get extra clothes from our room before continue to have fun. ;)

关于昌德宫
昌德宫是朝鲜续1395年修建景福宫后，所修建的第二座宫殿，创建时设有正殿、报平厅、便殿、正寝厅等建筑。太宗十一年（1411年）增设楼阁、寝殿、石桥（锦川桥），以及议政府朝房。太宗时二年建敦化门，设各司朝房。太宗十八年修建朝启厅，将仁政殿西移到现址，面阔三间扩建为面阔五间。世宗元年建仁政殿南行廊。世祖七年命名了昌德宫内的主要殿阁，世祖九年大幅向外扩建宫墙。成宗六年命名了主要宫门。1618年，朝鲜王朝正宫从庆运宫转移至昌德宫，之后约250年里，昌德宫取代景福宫，一直作为朝鲜王朝的正宫使用。1907年纯宗在昌德宫即位，他住在昌德宫直到1926年去逝。1997年12月，在意大利那不勒斯举行的联合国教科文组织世界文化遗产委员会上被指定为世界文化遗产。

A bit about Changdeokgung
Changdeokgung (Hangul, 창덕궁, 昌德宮; literally, "Prospering Virtue Palace") — also known as Changdeokgung Palace or Changdeok Palace — is set within a large park in Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea. It is one of the "Five Grand Palaces" built by the kings of the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1897). Construction of Changdeok Palace began in 1405, and was completed in 1412. Korea's last Emperor, Sunjong lived here until his death in 1926. Changdeokgung was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997.
