Scenic spot introduction:

Unhyeon Palace was the political center of the Joseon Dynasty during the era of Heungseon Daewongun (1820-1898). It is located west of the center of the northern half of Hanyang City (now Seoul), South Korea, with Bukaksan Mountain to the north. Unhyeongung Palace is not a palace, but a place where relatives of the royal family live. The family of royal relatives Yi Shiying (1820-1898) once lived here. Emperor Gojong (1863-1907) lived in Unhyeon Palace until he was 12 years old. After the Japanese occupation and the Korean War, Unhyeongung Palace was damaged, leaving only the existing part, which is very small.
