Jongmyo Shrine

The Korean Jongmyo Shrine is a tourist destination that is integrated into the world cultural heritage. The cultural heritage here is still very profound. If you come to travel here, you must make a plan in advance. It covers a large area, so you must make a plan.

The religion of the Joseon Kingdom is also a place for worship. Compared with the ancestral temples in China, the specifications and scale here are much smaller. You can see a lot of interesting contents inside, all of which are royal families of Korea from different periods.

My family and I visited the Jongmyo Shrine and were impressed by the beauty and history of the place, which is easily accessible by public transportation and affordable. It can feel hot, especially since the shrine is paved with stone in an open space, but the path leading to the shrine is in the shade. The shrine was built to honor the deceased kings and queens of the Joseon Dynasty. It is used for memorial ceremonies and some celebrations. Unlike the palace, the building design is simple to reflect its solemnity. The architectural layout also reflects the beliefs of Confucius. Please note that visitors can only enter the Jongmyo Shrine in guided tours during specific times on weekdays (not open on Tuesdays and Sundays). Only on Saturdays, visitors can enter at their leisure. English-speaking guided tours are scheduled at 10:00, 12:00, 14:00 and 16:00.

Zongmiao is not open to free visits, which I neglected when I made the strategy. When I arrived at the ticket office, there were only explanations in English field. The staff followed me all the way and could not walk around freely. It was not big inside. It took about 50 minutes to visit, but the environment was solemn. Travellers who liked architecture were still worth seeing. It's very close to Guangzhou-Tibet Market and Seoul Theatre. What I arranged at that time was to go to Guangzhou-Tibet Market for dinner after playing, and then watch graffiti show for your reference.

Jongmyo Shrine has a lot of historical heritage! It is the place where the ancient Korean royal family worshipped their ancestors, and the architecture is solemn and majestic. Here you can feel the heavy atmosphere of Korean traditional culture. You can visit the architecture and cultural relics of Jongmyo Shrine and learn about the process of ancient sacrificial ceremonies. It is an important place to understand Korean history and culture.

The ancestral temple is the earliest and most credible imperial temple to worship Confucianism. It is used to worship the ancestors of the Korean Dynasty (1392-1910). The original features of the 16th century are now preserved. Nowadays, there are often religious ceremonies with music and singing and dancing. Such traditions began in the 14th century. The gate here is a little old. North Korea has a long history. It has a history of thousands of years since Ramie North Korea. But the commentator said helplessly that we only have what the Korean Dynasty left behind. It's a pity that there are no such things as Koguryo in the early days. It is also a World Heritage Site, including the main hall and Yongning Hall. There are often religious ceremonies with music and dancing. Because of the shipwreck, some performances have been cancelled and no chance to see them. Two palaces are dedicated to different Korean kings and queens. Now the descendants of the royal family still worship every year. It is said that more than half of the people in Korea agree to restore the Royal family, saying that this is conducive to tourism. The grand momentum of the main hall is still very shocking. Because there is no relationship between people, quiet temples, primitive buildings and mysterious shrines, it is still very comfortable here.

The tour of Jongmyo Shrine is also 1,000 won, but you cannot enter alone. You must talk to the guide. There are Chinese guides at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. I just missed the morning tour. I originally planned to follow the Korean tour, but I still have to listen to history. So I passed Changgyeonggung Palace next door, and then ate cold noodles made by an aunt with the taste of my mother, and then listened to the guide to visit Jongmyo Shrine. This is a world cultural heritage. The guide introduced that there are two special roads in Jongmyo Shrine, one for the soul to walk, and the other for the king who is responsible for the royal road sacrifice. We can't go wrong. In addition, the main hall buildings in Jongmyo Shrine are usually asymmetrical, but the overall structure is symmetrical. According to the order of the ritual space, the height of the eaves and roofs of the main hall and Yongning Hall, and the thickness of the pillars are different, and they are built with the increase of the gods. Anyway, it is a very interesting visit and you can learn a lot. You must listen to the Chinese guide.
