Gyeonghuigung, one of the palaces built after the Imjin War in the 1700s when the main palace was lost, once served as the largest palace complex. However, it began to lose its buildings due to the restoration project of Gyeongbokgung Palace during the late Joseon Dynasty, and its size significantly reduced, eventually taking on its current modest appearance. Located west of Gyeongbokgung Palace, Gyeonghuigung now serves as a tranquil and healing space for the citizens of Seoul.
