Gyeonghoeru is the two-story pavilion in Gyeongbokgung

Gyeonghoeru is one of the most famous traditional buildings in palaces of Joseon period, Korea. I try to visit Gyeonghoeru whenever I go to Jongno-gu, the center of Seoul. It is located in Gyeongbokgung, the largest palace of Joseon period. In the information site, it says that;

The elevated pavilion, buttressed by stone columns floats on a man-made lake, and its granite railings feature carved renditions of the Bulgasari, a mythological creature known to consume fire. The two-story pavilion may be a familiar sight as it is inscribed on the back of the 10,000 won note.

So, I took a picture where both a 10,000 won note and Gyeonghoeru are shown together. The angle is so similar between the note and my photo. Do you agree? ^^;;
