Yungneung and Geolleung, Royal tomb complex in Hwaseong, South Korea.

The Yungneung and Geolleung tombs consist of two burial mounds surrounded by stone figures and protective structures within a forested area.

King Jeongjo moved his father Crown Prince Sado's remains to Yungneung in 1789, establishing this location as a significant royal burial ground.

The tomb layout incorporates traditional Korean architecture with stone statues, lotus-carved capstones, and ceremonial pathways following Joseon Dynasty customs.

The tomb complex opens daily from 9 AM to 6:30 PM between March and October, with admission fees of 1000 won for adults.

Annual memorial ceremonies take place at specific dates, with Yungneung rites held in April and Geolleung ceremonies conducted in May.
