Usually Grave Yard is located in mountain in Korea.
Cemeteries and tombs seemed to be located on the flat area in other countries.
But in Korea to make tomb in the moutain was a kinds of essential duty of descendants. I don't know the reason why, but I could estimate the cause.
Koreans have thought that the place of ancestor's tomb could effect the fate of the descendants. More over koreans have believed that there existed good and bade energy in the mountain. So descendants had been trying best place for tomb of their parents. Even there was story the presidential candidates moved their parents tomb for better place. It is a kinds of superstition. But it have affected to people very strongly.
Here I 'd like show you some grave yard where is located in the mountain.
I took the photos near my office
These photos from Chuncheon
The photos of below are near my house
Why mountain? We korean have taken it into granted to make tombs in the mountain. May be nobody have tried to find out the reason.
In my opinion this custom was deeply related to korean traditional religion.
In korean traditional religion, the mountain god has the second important god. The first is the Heaven God, the second god is the Mountain God, the third is the Ancestral god, and so on.
The mountain had been supposed as sacred place for early koreans even until now. I had posted several time there was a shrine for the mountain god in Buddhist Temple. The mountain god was always followed by Tiger.

Do not the Chinese people have the same tradition? I saw all the Chinese people burial here, in Aceh, on a hill, or in a high place. I think all of that, indeed, is because it comes from the same religious teachings. But interestingly, this tradition in some places is also followed by people outside that religious teachings. Even they deliberately create artificial hills or high mounds for burials.

mountain spirits oversee the graves of the dead - so beautiful to be watched over by a mountain goddess.
The grave markers are nestled among rolling grassy hills and surrounded by shady trees....a lovely setting, close to the heavens and to the gods.
It is an act of respect to honour and seek protection for the dead.
These sacred groves offer peace and beauty to the living visitors who come to visit dead loved ones.
Your photographs are beautiful and touching, @slowwalker...such respect.

@slowwalker personally I like it the lotus pond is an important feature in the Korean garden. If there is a natural stream, often a pavilion is built next to it, allowing the pleasure of watching the water. Terraced flower beds are a common feature in traditional Korean gardens.

Un voyage en Corée ? Et oui dès le 9ème siècle, les commerçant arabes l’avaient repérée : « au-delà de la Chine est une terre où l’or abonde et qui est appelée Silla. Les musulmans qui y sont allés ont été charmés par le pays et tendent à s’y installer et à abandonner toute idée de partir. » Pour les visiteurs que nous sommes, le pays du matin frais a calmé son dragon, et donne envie de se poser. Parcourir lentement la montagne vers la grotte de Seokguram et le temple du Bulguksa. Marcher sur les remparts de la forteresse de Hwaseong. Et, au cœur du chaos de Séoul, le doux sanctuaire confucéen de Jongmyo

Each country must have its own distinctive custom, if in my region Aceh-Indonesia also has a special place for the funeral, this all has its own meaning. Every person chooses his burial place, and some even have a principle that a place far from human life is very good and safe.

I believe so it's a little closer to the heavens. Also it seems like it was suppose to be plotted out properly but was never finished. Also they could have planned to have more up there but was then they stopped burying people up there.
Do you know if they still currently use that as a plot site?
