Hidden Cultural Gems

Beyond the modern skyscrapers of Gangnam lie the Seonjeongneung and Heonilleung royal tomb complexes, part of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty. These sites preserve the resting places of monarchs like King Seongjong and King Jungjong within lush, forested parks. Nearby, the 8th-century Bongeunsa Temple stands as a spiritual landmark, housing over 3,000 Buddhist scriptures and a 23-meter-tall statue of Maitreya. These locations offer a significant historical counterpoint to the district's urban landscape, showcasing traditional Korean architecture and royal funerary rites.
