Taegangneung, Royal burial plot in Nowon District, South Korea

Taegangneung features stone sculptures, ceremonial walkways, and traditional Korean architectural elements surrounding the central burial mound within a forest setting.

The tomb stands as part of the Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty, which governed Korea from 1392 to 1897, demonstrating burial traditions of Korean monarchs.

Stone figures line the path leading to the tomb, representing military and civil officials who served the royal court during the Joseon period.

Visitors can reach the site via Seoul Metro Line 4 to Danggogae Station, followed by a short bus ride to the tomb entrance.

The burial ground incorporates precise mathematical principles in its layout, with specific distances between ceremonial structures determined by Confucian numerical symbolism.
