Yet, thanks to a whopping 3.2 billion KRW boost from the Ganghwa local government, this phoenix has risen once more. Now, it's a treasure trove of attractions: from vintage textile machinery showcases and high-tech viewing rooms to quaint book nooks and multifunctional event spaces. A Blast from the Past Meets the Present! Entering the Donggwang Textile Cultural Center is like flipping open a vibrant scrapbook of Korea's textile legacy. Situated alongside the likes of Joyang Bangjik Cafe and Ganghwa Sochang Experience Center, this hub is a melting pot of Korea's textile milestones.
