Tour2Korea Says:
Jongmyo Shrine is dedicated to the spirits of Korea’s royal ancestors. The royal
family of the Joseon Dynasty paid homage to their forefathers in the
time-honored Confucian tradition. This sedate shrine of beautiful architectural
simplicity is appreciated as an invaluable cultural inheritance and was
registered on UNESCO’s World Cultural Heritage List in 1995.
Jongmyo Shrine is made up of Jeongjeon (the main hall), Yeongnyeongjeon (the Hall of Eternal Peace), and auxiliary facilities. Jeongjeon, with its attached cloister, is said to have been the longest building in Asia.

I’m a blogger, writer, and teacher. I’ve been working in South Korea’s ESL field for the last three years. My one year contract has unexpectedly turned into a journey that I’m still on and loving.
