The Arboretum of Korea “Gwangneung”


The first thing to know about Gwangneung is that it holds King Sejo on the left and Queen Jeonghui on the right. The second thing to know is that the tombs are part of the Korea National Arboretum and feature some old trees that have managed to stay vertical through all of Korea's turmoil. The third thing to know is that it's far enough out of Seoul to make it a good day trip. One of Korea's Historic Sites (#197), this Royal Tomb of Brilliance is my latest addition to my Joseon-Dynasty quest.
