Seoul is short of green spaces so even places with memorial tablets are used for exercising by locals. Should be visited in conjuction with Changgyeongung. The main shrine is a huge wooden building and is very impressive.

The Jongmyo Shrine was beautiful. We needed to join a guided tour to get in. The guide explained the background clearly. It was cheap too. 2 adults and 1 child costs 2500 won (HK $18, US$2.5, UK 1.6, EU1.8). It is really value for money.

I visited Jongmyo Royal Shrine on February 15, 2010, the third day of Seollal – the Lunar New Year celebration, and entered it without paying a ticket because I was wearing parts of the 'hanbok' suit.
