El Santuario de la Realeza Jongmyo era el lugar de adoración de los reyes de la dinastía Joseon. Fue construido cuando el primer rey de Joseon, Lee Seong-Gye (1335-1408) fundó la dinastía. El Santuario de la Realeza Jongmyo se encuentra registrado como Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad porque la tradición y las costumbres tales como los servicios de conmemoración y la música tradicional entre otros, se hallan muy bien preservados.

Frente a la entrada principal del Santuario el sendero se divide en tres. La senda del medio, levemente más elevada que los de los lados, era para el difunto rey; la senda del lado este, para el rey en el gobierno; y la del lado oeste, para el príncipe. El sendero central se conecta a Jeongjeon, y los senderos de los lados, a las habitaciones donde se preparaban para el servicio de conmemoración una vez que habían consumado la ablución. Después de la preparación adecuada del cuerpo y mente, el rey y el príncipe se trasladaban a Jeonsacheong. Jeonsacheong era el lugar donde se preparaba la comida para la ceremonia. Con un patio en el centro, el edificio de Jeonsacheong tenía la forma de un cuadrado. El edificio principal, Jeongjeon era donde se preservaban las lápidas mortuorias de los reyes anteriores y la sede de ejecución de las ceremonias de conmemoración. Solamente este lugar ha mantenido durante tan largo tiempo su tradición, pese a que la costumbre de celebrar la memoria de los monarcas exitosos se haya trasmitido originalmente desde China. Jeongjeon tiene 19 habitáculos y en cada uno se adora a los reyes de la Joseon. Dentro de una pared de Jeongjeon se halla el Gongsinjeong, donde se preservan los restos de los servidores más fieles al rey.

La música de los servicios conmemorativos del Santuario de la Realeza Jongmyo es el resultado armónico de los sonidos instrumentales, el canto, y las danzas que se han transmitido por 500 años. La melodía se logra en la misma forma que hace cinco siglos atrás. Entre las ceremonias completas, esta es la más antigua del mundo y tiene lugar cada primer domingo de mayo. Si está de viaje por Corea en esas fechas, puede ser una excelente oportunidad para observar la solemnidad y grandeza de una ceremonia tradicional tan antigua.

The Moon Guesthouse is situated near a number of interesting tourist destinations including Unhyeongung Palace (3min on foot), Bukchon Hanok Village (5min on foot), Changdeokgung Palace (5min on foot), and Changgyeonggung Palace (10min on foot). The guesthouse was named ‘moon’ (‘door’ in English) because it has many 176 doors and windows. Upon entering by the gate, visitors will see a ‘ㄷ’-shaped hanok building in the courtyard, in which a wooden bedstead and a table are placed. On the opposite of the hanok building there is a wall roofed with tiles engraved with Korean patterns such as deer, pine, turtle, etc. Flowers in the flowerbed lined up along the wall are in bloom and the bonsai are also well-kept in the house. Renovated and opened as a guesthouse in September 2011, Moon Guesthouse consists of a bonchae (main building) and a byeolchae (detached house). The rooms are decorated with red clay and hanji (traditional Korean paper handmade from mulberry trees), and have under-the-floor heating (ondol). Each room is equipped with an air-conditioner, and has a 40cm-thick layer of red clay over the ceiling for insulation, making the rooms cool in summer and warm in winter. The house has seven individual guestrooms and five modern bathrooms, but the entire building (bonchae or byeolchae) can be rented, too. In particular, the unhyeondang of the bonchae is very popular as it can be converted into one large space for special events, group workshops, etc. simply by opening all the sliding doors (Bunhapmun – Goryeo construction style). This room, which is decorated with a flower-patterned windscreen, a landscape painting, and calligraphy, has been used as a shooting location for various TV programs including KBS2’s TV reality program Man’s Qualification and its variety show The Human Condition. The guestrooms are also equipped with traditional furniture including a cabinet inlaid with mother-of-pearl. The guesthouse also provides a variety of experience programs from 11am to 3pm, including tea ceremony, wearing Hanbok (traditional Korean clothes), making kimchi and gochujang (red chili paste), playing a traditional musical instrument, making a rubbing of a stone inscription, calligraphy, drawing orchids on a fan, and so on. The house has about seventy hanbok and other clothing accessories, as well as a royal costume. Its calligraphy and drawing orchid programs are run directly by the owner, who used to work as a classical Chinese teacher at a high school.
