As you walk toward Changgyeonggung Palace, soak up Daehakro&#39;s youthful energy, which remains vibrant late into the night. Changgyeonggung Palace, located in the heart of Seoul, was originally built as Suganggung Palace by King Sejong (r. 1418–1450) of the Joseon dynasty for his father, King Taejong, who was in retirement. This historic palace often served as a residence for queens and concubines. Renovated and renamed by King Seongjong (r. 1469–1494), Changgyeonggung Palace later became a zoological and botanical park during Japanese colonial rule. In 1983, the palace was restored to its former glory, preserving its rich history and grandeur.

Renamed Tegosa Temple in 1936, it was later reestablished as Jogyesa Temple in 1954, following a purification effort to eliminate Japanese influence and revive traditional Buddhism. Today, Jogyesa Temple is a central hub of Korean Buddhism, with its Dharma Hall hosting numerous events, rituals, lectures, and Buddhist ceremonies throughout the year.
