Changdeok Palace was built in 1405 (the fifth year of King Taejong) about two kilometers east of Gyeongbok Palace as a detached palace. The rear garden of Changdeok Palace was a forbidden garden of the Korean royal family, inaccessible to commoners, also known as the Forbidden Garden. The king engaged in scholarly pursuits, self-cultivation, and also used it as a place for leisure and entertainment. The emperor often hunted here, practiced martial arts, held grand banquets, escaped the troubles of politics, and found joy in an environment of desireless humility. The pavilions of various shapes and the ponds blend seamlessly with nature, making it impossible to distinguish what is architecture and what is nature. Especially during the deeply dyed autumn season or when the leaves fall, the beauty here always stirs up an "ambition" to want to possess it exclusively.
