Walk through the dense woodland and suddenly you come across a serene glade. The Hu-
won OFFLINE MAP GOOGLE MAP is a beautiful vista of pavilions on the edge of a square lily
pond, with other halls and a two-storey library. The board out the front, written by King
Jeongjo, means 'Gather the Universe'. Joseon kings relaxed, studied and wrote poems in
this tranquil setting.

Further on are a couple more ponds and Yeongyeongdang, originally built in 1828 as a
place for the Crown Prince to study. Ongnyucheon OFFLINE MAP GOOGLE MAP is a brook at the
back of the garden where there's a huge rock Soyoam with three Chinese characters in-
scribed on it by King Injo in 1636: ong-nyu-cheon, which means 'jade flowing stream'
and a poem composed in Chinese characters by King Sukjong in 1690.
