Gwangneung Royal Tomb
Another weekend gone but fun was had. In celebration of Hangul day, I went on a mini-adventure to the Gwangneung National Forest. This forest is gorgeous and well preserved area. In order to keep it in such great shape, the Korean Forest Service only allows 3,000 guests in and only those who made a reservation. Something I did not know prior to traveling to the forest. So, I did not get to go on a nature walk but all was not lost. A short distance away is the Royal tomb of King Sejo, who is the second son of King Sejong (the guy who created Hangul). He basically became king by overthrowing his nephew after his older brother, King Munjong, died. Fun times. Anyways, the grounds of the tomb are beautiful and well taken care of. It was like being in a forest anyways. Such a beautiful autumn day in Korea. Enjoy the photos:
Side note: you can totally tell which photos I took and which ones ChanHee took. Such different ascetic.
