Yungneung & Geonneung Royal Tombs
융릉과 건릉
Part of the UNESCO-listed Joseon royal tombs, where Crown Prince Sado and his son King Jeongjo are buried, surrounded by pines in a quiet setting.
Yungneung is the tomb King Jeongjo built for his father, Crown Prince Sado (posthumously Jangjo), and Geonneung is the joint tomb of Jeongjo and Queen Hyoui. The two tombs are connected by a pine-forest trail that takes about an hour to walk. King Jeongjo built Hwaseong precisely to relocate his father's remains here, so visiting together with Hwaseong is especially meaningful. Admission is about 1,000 won. Open roughly 9:00–18:00 (closing earlier in winter), closed on Mondays. From Suwon Station it is about 40 minutes by bus, and it is about 2 kilometers from Yongjusa Temple.
