It is a place where you can see all the royal tombs from the early to late Joseon period, including single tombs built for kings or queens, double tombs built side by side, Dongwon Igangreung with tombs built on different hills with a shared pavilion, Hapjangreung where a king and queen are buried together in one tomb, and Samyeonreung where a king and two queens' tombs are built side by side in various forms.
