Jong-ro 157, Jongno-gu, Seúl.

El Santuario de la Realeza Jongmyo era el lugar de adoración de los reyes de la dinastía Joseon. Fue construido cuando el primer rey de Joseon, Lee Seong-Gye (1335-1408) fundó la dinastía. El Santuario de la Realeza Jongmyo se encuentra registrado como Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad porque la tradición y las costumbres tales como los servicios de conmemoración y la música tradicional entre otros, se hallan muy bien preservados.

Frente a la entrada principal del Santuario el sendero se divide en tres. La senda del medio, levemente más elevada que los de los lados, era para el difunto rey; la senda del lado este, para el rey en el gobierno; y la del lado oeste, para el príncipe. El sendero central se conecta a Jeongjeon, y los senderos de los lados, a las habitaciones donde se preparaban para el servicio de conmemoración una vez que habían consumado la ablución. Después de la preparación adecuada del cuerpo y mente, el rey y el príncipe se trasladaban a Jeonsacheong. Jeonsacheong era el lugar donde se preparaba la comida para la ceremonia. Con un patio en el centro, el edificio de Jeonsacheong tenía la forma de un cuadrado. El edificio principal, Jeongjeon era donde se preservaban las lápidas mortuorias de los reyes anteriores y la sede de ejecución de las ceremonias de conmemoración. Solamente este lugar ha mantenido durante tan largo tiempo su tradición, pese a que la costumbre de celebrar la memoria de los monarcas exitosos se haya trasmitido originalmente desde China. Jeongjeon tiene 19 habitáculos y en cada uno se adora a los reyes de la Joseon. Dentro de una pared de Jeongjeon se halla el Gongsinjeong, donde se preservan los restos de los servidores más fieles al rey.

La música de los servicios conmemorativos del Santuario de la Realeza Jongmyo es el resultado armónico de los sonidos instrumentales, el canto, y las danzas que se han transmitido por 500 años. La melodía se logra en la misma forma que hace cinco siglos atrás. Entre las ceremonias completas, esta es la más antigua del mundo y tiene lugar cada primer domingo de mayo. Si está de viaje por Corea en esas fechas, puede ser una excelente oportunidad para observar la solemnidad y grandeza de una ceremonia tradicional tan antigua.

After the repair work, the ground floor of the house was opened for guests from January 2016, hoping that guests could share their daily experiences and stories with each other.

Inwangsan-ro 1-gil 29, Jongno-gu, Seúl

En el monte Inwangsan pueden encontrarse la zona de los rituales del rey Taejo y Muhakdaesa y la muralla fortificada construida para delimitar Seúl, que une el Túnel Sajik con Jahamun. Muchas personas disfrutan de la ruta de senderismo que comienza en el Túnel Sajik y avanza hacia el pico de la montaña, para después caminar al lado de la muralla y llegar a Buam-dong. Esta ruta de senderismo también está conectada con la carretera situada ante Cheong Wa Dae, por lo que los excursionistas pueden ver lugares históricos como el camino Palpan, el camino Hyoja, y el palacio Gyeongbokgung. La ruta de senderismo que transcurre por detrás del Parque Sajik se dirige a Hwanghakjeong, donde los arqueros de la dinastía Joseon demostraban su destreza. Hwanghakjeong estaba originalmente ubicado en el palacio Gyeongbokgung, pero fue trasladado a la montaña. Desde la cumbre puede disfrutarse de una vista panorámica de los alrededores, con el palacio Gyeongbokgung en el centro, que se extiende hasta los montes Naksan, Namsan y Baegaksan.

La ruta que bordea la muralla es popular entre montañistas que buscan disfrutar del bonito paisaje. Al seguir el sendero dentro de la muralla, aparecerán una serie de peldaños de piedra al pasar Changuimun. Tras subir estos peldaños, el sendero se bifurca hacia la parte exterior de la muralla. El sendero se alarga por 200 metros, hasta unas rocas que fueron usadas para construir castillos en tiempos de los reyes Taejo, Sejong y Sukjong. El oscuro musgo de estas rocas indica la larga historia de Seúl. El sendero también lleva al castillo Tangchundae, construido para fortalecer las defensas de la capital tras la invasión japonesa de 1592 y las incursiones manchúes de 1636.

El monte Inwangsan se erige hasta los 338 metros de altitud, cubriendo Honghe-dong, de Seodaemun-gu, y Muak-dong, Nusang-dong, Ogin-dong y Buam-dong de Jongno-gu. Las colosales formaciones rocosas y vistas de Seúl y de Cheong Wa Dae son algunos de los grandes encantos de esta montaña.

Traditional flags, fences, pavilions, chimneys, and jangdokdae are holding the blue sky with pine trees, creating a harmonious Korean-style house. Passing through the elegant tall gate, as you see the jangdokdae, a small but clean hanok will be revealed, and the pine trees and bamboo trees added to the natural beauty, while the loving Gomusin placed on the stone brings back beautiful memories.
