Our ancestors created the tombs taking into consideration the surrounding environment. As a person who is studying pungsu jiri, I think those apartments should be demolished because they are blocking the mountain view. “I came here after hearing news about a construction site near the royal tombs. While children and parents posed for photos in front of Jangneung, which like most royal tombs stands at the foot of a mountain ridge - its location was decided based on “pungsu jiri,” a Korean version of feng shui, which attempts to harmonize life energy with physical surroundings - some people gazed through the treetops at the nearby cranes at a construction site in Incheon’s new town Geomdan. The tomb houses the parents of King Injo, the 16th ruler of Joseon, and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009 along with several other Joseon royal tombs around the country. The Joseon-era royal tomb Jangneung in Gimpo, Gyeonggi Province, had many visitors on Sunday as families traveled there to enjoy the lush forest trail.
