Specific Information
Unique Sentiment that visitors can feel at only night, Seooreung Night Tour
On an autumn night when there was fresh breeze and high sound of grass bugs, enjoy the night walk program 'Seooreung Night Tour' that shares history and arts, walking in Royal Tombs. Seooreung meaning 'five tombs in the west' is the second largest Joseon Royal Tombs Group, following East Nine Royal Tombs(Donggureung), Guri. Starting with the establishment of Uimyo (Gyeongneung), the tomb of the Crown Prince Uigyeong (posthumously honored King Deokjong), the first son of King Sejo, Changneung, the tomb of the 8th King Yejong; Sunchangwon, the tomb of the Crown Prince Sunhoe, a son of the 13th King Myeongjong; Ingneung, the tomb of the Queen Ingyeong, the royal first consort of the 19th King Sukjong; Myeongneung, the tomb of King Sukjong; Hongneung, the tomb of Queen Jeongseong, the royal first consort of the 21st King Yeongjo were built. Later, in the 1970s, Sugyeongwon, the tomb of the royal concubine Yeongbin Lee and Daebinmyo, the royal tomb of Janghuibin were moved to this place to become the current West Five Royal Tombs.

Seooreung is the place where King Sukjong, his three queens, and Janghuibin are buried, so it is full of many stories in which life, death, pain and sadness coexist. 'Myomyo,' a special being which tells the story of Seooreung across this world and the underworld, is based on the cat 'Geumson' which King Sukjong cherished in his life. Follow 'Myomyo' throughout the Royal Tombs to vividly experience the hidden story of the royal family with various performances, including songs and dances, discover the beautiful appearance of the royal tomb under the night sky, and feel the breath of living history.
