Why it matters now

Previously, the page linked only to a generic city tourism portal, leaving tomb locations and access unclear. The dedicated museum archaeological guide now explains the separate areas, while explicitly distinguishing museum hours from any outdoor tomb-site access.

Why go

Explore the scale of ancient tombs in their landscape and connect them with the jar-coffin exhibits at Naju National Museum. The museum notes that Sinchon-ri Tombs 2 and 3 are close enough to be part of a museum walking route. Tomb 9 yielded a gilt-bronze crown and other prestigious artifacts.
