UNESCO World Heritage
- the Royal Tombs, Seooneung -
Yesterday, on the way home from hiking, I stopped by Seooneung
by accident.
Seooneung is the Royal Tombs of Joseon Dynasty (Korea),
which comprise 40 burial grounds of kings and queens of the Joseon
period (1392 ~ 1910 ).
It has been long after I came to see here first.
The first time was when I was a junior high school student.
Our school took a springtime field trip here.
At that time, lots of schools in Seoul chose this place, Seooneung,
for their field trip.
It was almost 40 years ago.
I'm now walking on the same road again.
And that reminds me of the memories of the past.
I miss those friends I've lost contact long ago ever since graduation
from the junior high school.
What's more, I'm glad to know that this Royal Tombs in
recognition of their outstanding universal value as a cultural legacy
of humanity have been inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List
on June 30th, 2009.
OK, let's start looking around here happily !!!
