About this Stone
The tranquil pond here is one of the most peaceful corners of central Seoul, offering a quiet break from the city’s fast pace. Once part of the royal gardens during the Joseon Dynasty, the pond was designed to reflect the changing seasons, especially the cherry blossoms in spring and the fiery foliage in autumn. An interesting detail: this palace was originally built as a residence for queens and concubines, and its landscaped pond was used for leisurely strolls by the royal family. Today, visitors still pause to admire the calm water, the arched bridges, and the graceful pavilions mirrored on the surface.
