The sky was grey, yet we headed outside anyway. We felt like walking quietly, so our choice was Gimpo Jangneung, a royal tomb park.
Although I didn’t expect to see much greenery since it’s still winter, it was quite greenish due to the pine trees. The parking lot was rather empty, probably because of the cold and gloomy weather.
Since the main purpose was to walk in nature, we spent most of our time strolling along the paths, except for stopping by Jaesil, the ritual house. It was fun to watch the ducks in the pond, and 40 minutes easily flew by as we walked along the main path around the park.
It was quite a treat for KRW 1,000 (less than $1). Since we also enjoyed visiting Jungneung or Seooreung before, the Joseon dynasty royal tombs could be a good destination for a weekend. It would also be nice to revisit those places since they look different depending on the season and weather.
Since it was quite a chilly day, a bowl of Sundaeguk (Korean blood sausage soup) was a great choice for an after-walk meal, and we luckily got to look around the local traditional market (Kimpo Bukbyeon five-day market) nearby.
Overall, it was a very satisfying choice for a laid-back Sunday.
