Uireung: Part One | Part Two

Two weekends ago I went out to Uireung (의릉) in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul. Uireung is one of the royal tombs that was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site last year and houses the tombs of King Gyeongjong (景宗, 1688-1724) - 20th king of the Joseon Dynasty - and his lawful second wife Queen Seonui (宣懿王后, 1705-1730).

Funny you should say that, since the brick and lighting gave me kind of an odd impression. I really liked the inside of the building, though! Thanks for the compliment.

Thanks for the directions. It's on my list of to-do before departing Korea in August :-)

Uireung in particular, or some of the other Joseon dynasty tombs? Glad to hear the directions will come in handy for the future. =)
