Changgyeonggung Palace, which has a traditional garden and history in the city center, is a beautiful palace lined with 160 rare species of trees, old trees that have preserved years, wide ponds and beautiful temples. Tango, on the other hand, is a powerful and beautiful attractive dance that originated in Argentina and Uruguay in South America, and is loved by people around the world in recognition of its artistry.
