Gimpo Jangneung is the joint royal tomb of King Wonjong and Queen Injeon, the parents of King Injo of the Joseon Dynasty, and is part of the UNESCO-listed Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty. Surrounded by dense pine forests, the site beautifully reflects the harmony between traditional Korean burial customs and nature. Just a short trip from central Seoul, it offers a peaceful path for visitors to explore both history and scenery at a relaxed pace.
김포 장릉은 조선 인조의 아버지 원종과 어머니 인헌왕후가 함께 묻힌 왕릉으로, 유네스코 세계유산인 조선왕릉 40기 중 하나입니다. 울창한 소나무 숲과 잘 보존된 능역 공간은 조선 왕실의 장례 문화와 자연 조화의 미를 느낄 수 있는 곳입니다. 도심에서 멀지 않으면서도 고즈넉한 산책로를 갖춰 여유롭게 역사와 자연을 함께 즐기기 좋습니다.
