The Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty are the only royal tombs in the world that remain largely intact from a single dynasty spanning more than 500 years, making them a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Yeongneung is the combined tomb of the 4th ruler of Joseon dynasty, King Sejong (1397-1450) who created the Korean alphabet, and his wife Queen Soheon. Nyeongneung is the royal tomb of the 17th ruler of the Joseon dynasty, King Hyojong (1619-1659, reigned 1649-1659), and of his wife Queen Inseon (1618-1674). The Wangneung Forest here boasts spectacular fall foliage.
