Heonneung’s two mounds side by side behind a dense array of statuary — civil and military figures and stone horses set out in double the usual number

Heonilleung Royal Tombs

Heonneung, King Taejong’s tomb, carries twice the stone figures of any other royal tomb, following the Goryeo precedent of King Gongmin’s tomb. It is the reference point if you want to compare tomb statuary.

It sells monthly and lunchtime passes, which tells you what it mostly is: a working park that office workers and neighbours walk through, which happens to contain two royal tombs. Under-25s get in free, so for most young travellers the ticket price is irrelevant.

Seoul Grand Park

A very large park in Gwacheon, open since 1984. Seoul Zoo, a botanical garden, themed gardens, a healing wood and forest-bathing trails and a campground sit inside one boundary, with Seoul Land and the Gwacheon branch of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art on the same site. At over nine million square metres it is not somewhere to cover in a day — pick one of those and go for it. It is reached on foot from exits 1, 2 and 3 of Daegongwon station on Seoul subway Line 4, which puts a full day out within the reach of a visitor with a transit card and no car.

Starfield Library

It is a mall atrium, not a library in the quiet sense — there is no lending, and the photographs everyone comes for are of a space full of people. Power sockets and worktables make it a genuinely usable stop between COEX appointments.
