THE SHOW
A Palace Pond in Bloom
As a partner program of the 2026 K-Royal Culture Festival, Changgyeonggung Palace opens at night with media art and lighting across the Chundangji Pond area — from Honghwamun Gate to the ponds and the palace’s historic Great Greenhouse.
The highlight is the Moonlight Lotus Show at Daechundangji Pond (Scene 2), where light and projections bloom across the water like lotus flowers. This main show is open only to visitors with a reservation.
Book your session, then wander the palace under the autumn moon.
