Jongmyo Shrine, located in the heart of Seoul, South Korea, is a Confucian shrine dedicated to the memorial services for the deceased kings and queens of the Korean Joseon Dynasty. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995, it is renowned for its well-preserved traditional Korean architecture and meticulously maintained serene gardens. The shrine features two primary halls: Jeongjeon, the main hall, and Yeongnyeongjeon, the hall of eternal peace. A highlight for visitors is witnessing the Jongmyo Jerye, an elaborate, age-old ritual practiced on the first Sunday in May, which includes traditional music and dance. Walking through its grounds offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling city and a unique glimpse into Korea's rich cultural heritage.
