Gyeongbokgung（景福宫），also known as Gyeongbokgung Palace or Gyeongbok Palace，was the main royal palace of the Joseon Dynasty.Built in 1395，it is located in northern Seoul，South Korea.The largest of the Five Grand Palaces built by the Joseon Dynasty，Gyeongbokgung served as the home of Kings of the Joseon Dynasty，the Kings'households，as well as the government of Joseon.It also houses the National Palace Museum of Korea and the National Folk Museum within the premises of the complex.
Changdeokgung（昌德宫）is set within a large park in Jongno-gu，Seoul，South Korea.It is one of the“Five Grand Palaces”built by the kings of the Joseon Dynasty（1392-1897）.As it is located east of Gyeongbok Palace，Changdeokgung，along with Changgyeonggung，is also referred to as the“East Palace”.
景福宫位于韩国首尔北部，建于1395年，是朝鲜王朝的皇宫。景福宫是由朝鲜王朝建造的五大宫殿中最大的一座，是朝鲜王朝国王、国王的家庭以及朝鲜政府的所在地。它拥有韩国国立古宫博物馆和国家民俗博物馆内的综合设施。
昌德宫是朝鲜王朝建造的“五大宫殿”之一。由于它位于景福宫以东，昌德宫和昌庆宫也被称为“东宫”。
Changdeokgung was the most favored palace of many Joseon princes and retained many elements dating from the Three Kingdoms of Korea period that were not incorporated in the more contemporary Gyeongbokgung.One such element is the fact that the buildings of Changdeokgung blend with the natural topography of the site instead of imposing themselves upon it.Like the other Five Grand Palaces in Seoul，it was heavily damaged during the Japanese occupation of Korea（1910-1945）.Currently，only about 30％ of the pre-Japanese buildings survive.Today there are 13 buildings remaining on the palace grounds and 28 pavilions in the gardens，occupying 110 acres（44 hectares）in all and the area is designated as Historical Site No.122.Buildings of note include Donhwamun（built in 1412，rebuilt in 1607，with a copper bell weighing 9 short tons or 8 metric tons），Injeongjeon（main hall），Seongj eongj eon Hall（auxiliary office in the main hall），Huijeongdang（the king's private residence，later used as a conference hall），Daejojeon Hall（living quarters），and Nakseonjae Hall.The Palace chosen to worldwide travel expert evaluation and reader preferences is registered the world's 500 attractions in research.(https://www.daowen.com)

昌德宫是许多朝鲜王子最喜欢的宫殿，保留了许多可以追溯到朝鲜三国时期的元素，这些元素没有被纳入更现代的景福宫。昌德宫的建筑与自然地形融为一体，它和首尔的其他五大宫殿一样，在日本占领朝鲜（1910—1945）期间遭到严重破坏，只有大约30％的建筑保存下来。
