| Description |
Donggureung Tomb is located in a large forest area, and is the resting place of
Joseon kings. There are nine royal mausoleums and seventeen graves in total. The
tomb is very large compared to other tombs in Korea, and because of the large
forest, the surrounding scenery is very beautiful. The nine royal mausoleums
include Joseon Dynasty’s founding King Taejo (reign 1335-1408), which is called
Geonwonneung tomb. All over the mausoleums are thick forests, and between the
graves there are trail walks, ideal for long leisurely walks. An especially
famous part of the Donggureung Tomb area is the historically significant purple
eulalia reeds growing there. The long reeds are said to have been transplanted
from King Taejo’s hometown of Hamgeung. It carries with it 600 years of Joseon
History within it.
