The Changdeokgung had a garden called the "Secret Garden". There really isn't anything secret about it. Only the king and his servants were allowed. Sometimes the king would let other people of the royal family in. It was just his way of finding peace and relaxation.

| Dae Jang Guem. She is very famous. A doctor and cook for the king. Uncommon for women in her time. |
