Royal Tombs in the Middle of Seoul

#springitinerary Samneung Park is one of those “wait, this is in Seoul?” kinda spots. Right in the middle of Gangnam’s chaos, you step inside and peace, pine trees, and grassy hills with royal tombs tucked in. It’s where a couple of Joseon kings and a queen are buried, which sounds intense, but the vibe is actually super chill. The paths are soft and shady, perfect for a slow stroll or zoning out with a podcast. There’s cool stone statues watching over the tombs, and the whole place feels calm without trying too hard. Not touristy, not crowded, just quiet and kinda magical. It’s great if you’re into nature and history but don’t want to hike or do anything too extra. Bring a drink, wear comfy shoes, and enjoy the break from the usual city rush. Honestly, it’s one of those underrated gems you’ll want to gatekeep.
