Seokcheon Thombs

I have never been found of visiting tombs and historical places like that but here in Korea I have lot of opportunities to explore the historical places including tombs, museum, temples, mountains and different other attraction. The only reason behind this is that Korean people have sustained and preserved their cultural and historical sites.  I had a chance this time with the Sungpa-gu office as tourism ambassador to visit the Seokchon tombs. The stone mound tombs in Seokchon-dong were found and investigated as part of the city development project in Jamsil district. The tombs are presumed to belong to one of the earliest leaders of the Baekje Dynasty (18 BC-660 AD).

The tomb site offers valuable information concerning the culture and customs of the Baekje Dynasty in its golden age around the 4th century, as well as the relations between the three ancient kingdoms (Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla) around that time. Although I was quite tired but the weather was just amazing and cool breeze made it perfect. The guide provided some interesting and historical information about the tombs. We also have a chance to watch the tree which is around 400 year’s old tree.
