Series tour- Walking Capital Hanyang_ Jungmyo Shrine

On Friday, June 13, 2025, which was the second Friday of June, members of WKIC visited Jongmyo Shrine. Jongmyo is a significant site where the ancestral tablets of the kings and queens of the Joseon Dynasty are enshrined and ancestral rites are performed. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1995, and the Jongmyo Jeryeak (Royal Ancestral Ritual Music), performed during these rites, was inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2001. We gathered in front of the main gate at 4:00 PM and, starting at 4:20 PM, strolled through the area and learned about the newly restored Jongmyo with the guide's explanations.
