RE: The traditional resort in Gong Joo, Korea

in #travel7 years ago

In Korea, it seems the past and present have found a way to coexist in peace. The traditional resort built so close to the tomb of King Moo Ryeong is an example--you can walk there by foot.

The pictures of the tomb are beautiful and convey the sense that the ancestors of the past are still nearby and their spirits still inhabit the place.

The resort is well-kept and neat - the idea of heating the floor seems to be an ancient practice. I know when I studied Roman villas that was the accepted practice and the American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright preferred it in his houses, believing if your feet were warm, you were too.

A lovely post about Korean history and culture with some practical advice about accommodation included as well.

Good work, @slowwalker
