Aeryeon lake and pavilion, Changdeokgung
Caption / Description:

Aeryeonji pond and Aeryeonjeong pavilion, in Changdeokgung palace, Seoul, South Korea. Aeryeonji was named by King Sukjong, the 19th king of the Joeson dynasty. The name means 'Love of Lotuses pond', Sukjong said "I love the lotus because it blooms with such clean and beautiful flowers, however dirty the water may be, latently possessing the virtue of a true gentleman".

Aeryeonjeong pavilion was originally built in the middle of the pond on a small island in 1692, however the island has since been removed and the pavilion moved to the northern end of the pond.
