Donggwanwangmyo (shrine) 동관왕묘 built in 1601. An ancestral shrine where sacrifices were performed for general Guan Yu 관우 關羽 who lived during the Chinese Three Kingdoms period. His life was popularized in the historical novel The Romance of the Three Kingdoms 三國演義. Ming requested this shrine to be built for the help it gave to Joseon during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592. #korea #seoul #koreanhistory #travelkorea #guanyu #romanceofthethreekingdoms #shrines #joseon #mingdynasty (at 서울 동관왕묘) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp_p3jAPshZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
