The Royal Tomb of King Jungjong, a World Cultural Heritage site, can be used like a Gangnam Building Forest Park. I recommend it because the view of the city from Jeongjagak is the best among the royal tombs in Seoul.

This is the tomb of King Jungjong.

A park in the city center. It's so nice to take a walk. A 10-time lunch pass costs 3,000 won. Office workers, grab a cup of coffee and go.

It's like an oasis located in the city center. The trees are dense, so there is plenty of shade to rest. The trails are well maintained, and all the managers were very friendly☺️

#Please use caution when traveling. #Disadvantage: You cannot see the tomb up close. No commentary. No place to throw away trash. #Advantage It's good for taking a walk. You can watch it more leisurely. It’s close to the ticket office. #Knowledge The younger brother of Yeonsangun and the son of King Seongjong during the Joseon Dynasty. He was robbed during the Japanese invasions of Korea. There is a tombstone. Established during the reign of King Yeongjo. During the reign of King Yeongjo, people often came to the royal tomb to offer ancestral rites in person. Usually kings don't come here often. Royal tomb rites are mainly performed by descendants. Rice and meat are not offered during ancestral rites. Noodles and stews are served immediately after cooking, but dried foods are served in advance. There are many different types of Cheongju. Noodles were a very precious food at the time. 40 royal tombs are registered with UNESCO. Queen Munjeong wanted to be buried together, but her son was against it. This is because when it rains, the surrounding area is submerged in water.

This is Jeongneung, the royal tomb of King Jungjong. It's a shame that it's the only one of the three royal tombs in Seonjeongneung that I can't go up to. Still, it was managed very well. Because it was so accessible, anyone would enjoy taking a walk.

A royal tomb in the city center. I was able to fully enjoy the atmosphere of winter. It was nice to take a walk with a sense of calm unlike the busy city. And while I was traveling around Seonjeongneung Royal Tombs, I had an amazing experience seeing celebrity Kim Min-jeong right next to me.

I visited Seolleung and Jeongneung Royal Tombs during the Lunar New Year holiday, and thanks to free admission, my steps were much easier. The information board in front of the ticket booth listed the viewing hours and that it was free during the holiday season. It varies depending on the season, but on this day it opened at 6 a.m., so I was able to leisurely look around until the sun set. It was a special day, walking through the quiet of the holiday and the time of Joseon, even in the middle of the city😃😃😃

Seolleung is the tomb of King Seongjong and his wife, Queen Jeonghyeon. Jeongneung is the tomb of King Jungjong. It was interesting that they had different incense burners for the gods to walk on and fishing boats for the king to walk on.
