SaRa LVFebruary 3, 2018Great view on the 6th floor of the hospital(closed during the winter). Check out the 4th floor window for a view during the winter. Just enter the hospital and take the escalator or elevator. Enjoy!

HR HanJanuary 3, 2016서울에서 가장 좋아하는 단풍명소. 입장권이 1000원인데 3개월간 점심시간(12~2시)에 10회 입장권이 3000원. 1달 입장권 10000원(시간 제한 없음). 종로구민 50% 할인(부럽) 나와서 건널목 건너 서울대병원의 옥상정원에서 창경궁을 한번 바라보고 가면 금상첨화!Upvote6Downvote
Winsca HK.HanNovember 8, 2014세종이 태종을 위해 만든 궁‥정원이 넓고 멋진 곳‥중국에서 건너온 흔히 볼 수 없는 백송도 자라고 있고, 수백년 자라온듯한 오래된 나무들이 많다‥효자세종의 마음 씀씀이가 느껴진다‥마음속의 많은 번민을 이곳 정원을 거닐며 달랬을 태종의 모습도 보이는 듯하다‥

Seong-Kyun JiAugust 29, 2014창경궁은 조선 성종 대에 영건된 궁궐로 많은 궁중 여성이 머물고 크고 작은 사건이 많았던 곳인데 안타깝게도 일제 강점기 때 궁궐의 9할이 훼손되고 놀이 공원과 동식물원 박물관 등의 위락시설로 변형되어 유지 운영되었고 이후 80년 대 초 중건공사를 통해 일부 보수되나 아직 상당수는 여전히 빈터로 남은 곳이다.Upvote3Downvote
Jun👫September 4, 2013성종15년에 대비들을 위해 지은 궁궐. 임진왜란때 불탔다가 광해군때 재건했음. 일제강점기때 잠시 창경원으로 불리다가 1984년 다시 창경궁으로 이름을 고쳤음. 1909년 지어진 우리나라 최초의 식물원은 아직 남아있음.Upvote10Downvote
