Daereungwon Tomb
대릉원
Timeless photo spot that’s all over social media
Set on a wide, open plain, this historic site features 23 royal tombs from the Silla Dynasty. The gently rising mounds between grassy paths make it a popular Instagram photo spot, especially in spring when cherry blossoms bloom along the Daereungwon stone wall path. Don’t miss the chance to step inside Cheonmachong Tomb, where numerous treasures were unearthed, or enjoy a peaceful stroll among the grassy hills and ancient trees.
