Hi. I'm Hien. I will share with you about my favorite place in the world. Korea is my favorite
country and I wish to go there once. I really like chili and spicy foods, and I think Korea is the
perfect place to meet my hobby. The second point I like about this country is the cherry blossoms, I
only saw the image of cherry blossoms on TV a few times and it was very beautiful so I wish I could
see cherry blossoms once. And one place in Korea that I really want to visit is the Changdeokgung
Palace, I like Korean historical dramas so I am very curious about the ancient palaces appearing
in the movie. I have learned some information about Changdeokgung Palace, this is the 2nd largest
palace in Seoul. Changdeokgung Palace is famous for a large secret garden where there are
countless sacred temples, halls and a rich, beautiful natural ecosystem. This Korean tourist
destination is most beautiful in the spring when the cherry blossoms are everywhere. I am really
interested in Korea, I will try to realize my dream.
