stops
Seoul's great royal palace has been destroyed twice and rebuilt twice. Start at the gate a Japanese critic saved with an open letter, stand where the colonial headquarters rose and fell, meet King Sejong in the throne hall where he was crowned, hear how a regent paid for the pavilion on the pond with a coin worth almost nothing, find out why the king's bedroom now stands in another palace, and finish by the pond where Korea's first electric lights flickered, beside the residence where its queen was assassinated.
