The Korean word “myo” means shrine, so Chong-myo is really the “Chong Shrine”. Located just a few blocks to the east and across the street from Kyeong-bok-kung, Chong- myo is open to tourists every day except Tuesday, and admission costs only 700 won.
From Chong-myo, you can walk across a footbridge to Ch'ang-kyeong-gung. This palace is adjacent to another palace, Ch'ang-deok-kung, whose grounds contain P'i-won, the “secret garden”.
