Gimpo Jangneung Royal Tomb

김포 장릉

It opens at 07:00 under the early-admission rule. It is the tomb of Wonjong and Queen Inheon, and the lotus pond inside the precinct is the best-preserved of any left at a Joseon royal tomb.

What to see

History and Culture Hall

Gimpo Jangneung’s history and culture hall first opened in 2016 and was reorganised in 2023. It is arranged in three parts: Jangneung itself — the lives of Wonjong and Queen Inheon, what makes the tomb distinctive, and the people who looked after it; the Joseon royal tombs as a World Heritage site; and a hands-on room with the tomb through the four seasons, a model military stone figure and a scale model of a royal tomb.

Nearby

Yereung head-on: behind the shrine, two mounds side by side inside one curved screen wall on the hill, with stone figures ranged in two rows in front of them

Seosamneung Royal Tombs

Three royal tombs and two princely graves, and beside them the royal placenta chambers gathered here from all over the country under Japanese rule — where what became of them can be seen at once.

World Cup Park

A park made out of the Nanjido landfill, which took Seoul's rubbish for fifteen years from 1978. It opened in 2002 and is divided into five areas, two of which are hills built from the waste itself.

Rows of pale violet parasols on the stepped deck at the riverside water-play area, a bridge across the water behind

Nanji Hangang Park

Three kilometres of riverside at Sangam-dong, from Hongjecheon Bridge to Nanji Bridge. Footbridges drop into it — one between Noeul Park and Haneul Park, another from Peace Park — so it can be walked into from the World Cup Park side above. Its landmarks are the Nanji campsite, where barbecue and overnight camping are allowed, and the Mirror Fountain, which plays from May to October.

Ingneung’s shrine head-on, its main hall extended on both sides by open colonnaded wings with no walls, and the balustraded burial ground on the hill behind

Seooreung Royal Tombs

Five royal tombs and three lesser graves in one wood. Sukjong lies here with two of his queens, and so does Jang Hui-bin — one reign’s cast inside a single set of walls. It opens at 07:00 under the early-admission rule.

Gyeonggi's Joseon Royal Tombs: 12 Compared by Fee, Hours and Area
All twelve Joseon royal tomb precincts in Gyeonggi Province, compared on how many tombs each gathers, what can only be seen there, admission and opening time, with how to group them by city for a day out. All twelve close on Mondays; Yeoju's Yeongneung and Yeongneung and Yangju's Olleung differ on admission, and Donggureung, Seooreung and Gimpo Jangneung open earlier.
