Gyeonghui Palace (in Korean: Gyeonghuigung, literally Palace of Serene Harmony) was a palace located in Seoul, South Korea. It was one of the "Five Grand Palaces" built by the Joseon Dynasty.
In the latter Joseon period, Gyeonghuigung served as the secondary palace for the king, and as it was situated on the west side of Seoul, it was also called Seogwol (a palace of the west). The Secondary palace is usually the palace where the King moves to in times of emergency.
From King Injo to King Cheoljong, about ten kings of Joseon dynasty stayed here at Gyeonghuigung. This palace was built using the slanted geography of the surrounding mountain, has traditional beauty in its architecture and a lot of historical significance. For a time, it was of a considerable size, even to the point of having an arched bridge connecting it to Deoksugung palace. For the king’s royal audience, there were the Sungjeongjeon and Jajeongjeon buildings, and for sleeping, Yungbokjeon and Hoesangjeon buildings.
The Japanese completely destroyed Gyeonghuigung during the Japanese occupation period in order to build a school for Japanese citizens. Reconstruction started in the 1990s as part of the South Korean government's initiative to rebuild the "Five Grand Palaces" that were heavily destroyed by the Japanese. However, due to urban growth and decades of neglect, the government was only able to reconstruct around 33% of the former Palace.
Come on shake your body baby do the conga
I know can't control yourself any longer
Come on shake your body baby do the conga
I know can't control yourself any longer
Come on shake your body baby do the conga
I know can't control yourself any longer
Feel the rhythm of the music getting stronger
Don't you fight it till you tried it do the conga beat
Everybody gather 'round now let your body feel the heat
Don't you worry if you can't dance let the music
move your feet.
It's the rhythm of the island and like sugarcane so sweet
If you want to do the conga you've got to listen to the beat.
Chorus
------
Feel the fire of desire as you dance the night away
'Cause tonight we're gonna party till we see the break of day.
Better get yourself together and hold on to what you got
Once the music hits your system there's no way
you're gonna stop.
