Aeryeonji Pond 爱莲池, Secret Garden Huwon 昌德宮後苑, Chandeokgung Palace 昌德宮, Seoul, South Korea, Republic of Korea

Excerpt from english.cha.go.kr/html/HtmlPage.do?pg=/royal/RoyalPalaces...:

 

If one passes the garden at the rear of the Juhamnu Pavilion and walks down along the slope of the hill leading into the stairway, the person can find a square pond on the opposite side and a pavilion on the north bank of the pond. This is the Aeryeonjeong, which is composed of only 1 kan. Looking out of the windows of the pavilion, one can enjoy a wonderful view. It looks like just a framed picture, owing to the decorations attached to the upper part of the pillars. Of course, the mood of the picture depends on the season. In particular, the stone structure, through which water comes into the pond, is opposite excellent in beauty and technique of design.
