Walk among three royal tombs at Samneung Park and focus on the burial mounds, stone monuments, and ceremonial spaces that mark each one. You will first encounter Jungjong Jeongneung, then the tomb of Seongjong’s queen Jeonghyeonwanghu, before reaching Seongjong’s own royal tomb. The sequence makes the walk worthwhile: at the final stop, you can compare the king’s tomb directly with the queen’s tomb seen just before it.
