Check in at the Tomb of King Muryeong of South Korea

#Must-visit check-in spots in Korea This time we came to check in the biggest archaeological discovery in Korea in the 20th century - the Tomb of King Muryeong of Baekje. The Tomb of King Muryeong is located in Gongju City, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea. It is the place where the 25th king of Baekje and his queen were buried together. The Tomb of King Muryeong is built with stones. There are many national treasures in it, which are important materials for studying Baekje culture. About 3,000 relics of 108 types have been excavated from the royal tomb, of which 12 are designated as national treasures and are all exhibited in the Gongju National Museum of Korea. Among them, the most representative relics are the golden crowns of the king and the queen and the ornaments on the golden crowns, as well as gold earrings, gold necklaces, bronze mirrors, pillows, etc. King Muryeong Buyeo Smo has a deep relationship with China because he was the "General of Ningdong, the Envoy and Commander of the Baekje Military Forces" canonized by Emperor Wu of the Southern Liang Dynasty. At the entrance of the mausoleum, there is a lotus pattern, and seven Chinese characters are engraved on the side - "This was made by a Jianye man". Jianye is the ancient name of Nanjing, China, which means that the brick-making craftsmen of the mausoleum came from China. This is definitely a place you must check in when traveling to Gongju, South Korea. Detailed address: 37-2 Wangling Road, Gongju City, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea
