Hye said
In Kyoungbokgung, Royal palace in South Korea, Seoul, there is a Hyangwonjung on the artificial island which means fragrance fly to far away from there. The bridge is calledd "Chuihyanggoy" which means "get drunk by scent" Hyangwonjung remaind me the beaty of women who lived Chosen dinysty period. Becaouse it got very subtle curve roof lines compare with China or Japenese one. also gentle and graceful scenery around there. Especialy in autum all the maples turn to crimson foliage and red like a fire(so red) That is my favorit time in Hyangwonjung. back to Hyangwonjung there is a mountin InWang. The scenery with Hyangwonjung and mountin InWang looks like a kind of elegant oriental painting really.
