Day 37 - The Soggy Palace

On Sunday we went to the Chang Deok Gung palace in Seoul. The Chang Deok Gung palace is one of the ten palaces in Seoul. When we got there we booked a tour of the palace but it was raining and the tour took an hour. During the tour I learnt about the statues of animals on the roofs of building. It turns out that the number of animals is for how important the building and the more animals it has the more important the building is. Another thing I learnt is about the Korean phoenix. The Korean phoenix is not like other phoenixes because they don't die and be reborn from the ashes - the Korean phoenix doesn't die at all.
