Getting The Royal Treatment At Unhyeongung Residence

Unhyeongung is a fancy complex, a good example of traditional, royal architecture during the Joseon Dynasty period of the 19th century. It was primarily used by the Heungseon Daewongun.

Understated and dwarfed. The place has an iconic, classic Asian look and now seems a bit out of place (and scale) next to modern Seoul.

 A peek at a corridor and guard quarters. Straight up Marie Kondo style.

The complex is a series of wood and whitewashed structures, halls and quarters.

It takes a tough hammer to make a tender meal. Royal tea. Pinky.

There's a section full of mannequins in period dress. The best in old Korean Uniqlo.
