Chang gyeong gung is facing the East.
Comparing to other palaces and all other royal architectures, it's very unique. Traditionally southward houses and rooms were considered the best, however Chang gyeong gung is looking the East and it's because the palace was originally built for the queens.
Queens traditionally stayed in the east side of every palaces. So the main entrance of the palace is facing the east, and every buildings in Chang gyeong gung is facing east too. (even Chang gyeong gung itself is in the east side of Seoul comparing to other palaces.)
