Seolleung and Jeongneung

It is one of my favorite places in Jiangnan District, walking here to escape the crowds and modern life. The royal tomb of Xuanling is Xuanjing Mausoleum, which is where the burying of Xuanjing Wang and his second wife, Queen Zheng Xuan, and the second son in the past lived. "Xuanjing" comes from Xuanhejing. It is designed as a historic attraction and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Open Tuesday to Sunday, in a forest-like site. Motorcycles, buses, taxis are easy to reach. If you want to walk in the summer, remember to bring a bottle of water, even if you can find a fountain inside. The mausoleum is a five-minute walk from the hotel I stayed in. I went on a weekday, around 8 o'clock, and there were many elderly Koreans doing morning exercises. The mausoleum is very interesting, with stone guards on the mound at the top. You can only walk to two of them and see the scenery from the side of the top, but that is enough. Tickets are 1,000 won and very cheap. I spent time walking in the park and it was lovely. There was a very, very old ginkgo tree, many cranberries and persimmon trees, and when I went there it all came fruit. The beautiful Japanese maple tree was the red leaves of autumn. There were a lot of birds there and I saw a pheasant. Seoul is a peaceful and beautiful place.

There are three tombs of emperors and one queen from the Korean Dynasty at the site of Xuanjing Mausoleum. Unfortunately, we can not enter the interior of the tomb, nor can we approach it. The leaves of autumn surround us. The morning walk is refreshing. Take a look at the video demonstration near the toilet at the entrance to appreciate the construction of the mausoleum better.

A quiet place in a busy city has a relatively high terrain. This is a world cultural heritage, but few tourists, especially Chinese tourists, will come here. On the scale of the mausoleum, of course, we can not compare with China, but there is such a mausoleum area in the metropolitan center, it is really rare. Entrance to the park requires tickets, but it is very cheap, only 1000 won per person.

Seolleung and Jeongneung is effectively a park located at the heart of Gangnam. If you wish to touch grass in the most literal sense during your trip, visit Seolleung.

It's good to eat lunch in Seolleung, which is good for walking, and digest it~~ There are many trees in summer, so it's not hot.

View of the Chosun Palace Hotel overlooking Seolleung!!! If you want to see the skyline of Seolleung and Samseong Station, I recommend Chosun Palace!

I went there once because it was near the company, but it is very spacious and good for a walk!

Great place to walk, tickets 1000 won, Jiangnan District residents 500 won.
