Changdeokgung Moonlight Tour reservations
The Korean lottery application window was August 20–26; first-come sales of remaining places began on Ticketlink at 14:00 on September 3.

This article does not confirm that seats remain.
Foreign-language dates still ahead
English, Japanese and Chinese tours were announced for September 20 and 27, and October 4 and 11. From September 26, the dates still ahead are September 27, October 4 and October 11. Consult Creatrip for the language and session actually offered. Do not assume a Korean-language ticket can be converted on arrival; eligibility and booking conditions belong to the selected product.
What connects the palace and garden
The official itinerary introduces Geumcheongyo, Injeongjeon, Nakseonjae, Sangnyangjeong, Buyongji and Yeongyeongdang. Announced elements include daegeum music, a royal-stroll reenactment and traditional arts with refreshments. A useful viewing question is how the formal palace spaces differ from the garden setting. Follow staff instructions for the actual sequence and route.
Check the precise departure time
Six departures are listed at 19:10, 19:15, 19:20, 20:00, 20:05 and 20:10, with 28 participants per session. Save the date, language, meeting point and arrival instructions from your confirmed booking. Comfortable walking shoes and a check for weather-related notices will help with preparation.
