Nighttime palace tours will start in March at Changgyeonggung, one of the five Joseon-era (1392-1910) palaces in Seoul, according to the Korea Heritage Service.
The tours are oriented around a multimedia show with theatrical lighting that takes place at eight stops on the compound, highlighting the palace surroundings. The show will run starting at 7 p.m. everyday except Monday throughout the year.
One of the stops is the Grand Greenhouse of Changgyeonggung, Korea’s first Western-style greenhouse built of steel and glass in 1909.
Another spot is Chundangji, a pond known to reflect the best view of the palace complex, according to the KHS.
The night program was introduced last year to coincide with individual nighttime tours held separately at other Joseon palaces like Gyeongbokgung.
The tours will be available to palace visitors who pay 1,000 won for admission.
