Museum of Old Roads
Gyeongsangbuk-do(Mungyeong-si)

The Museum of Old Roads (Former Mungyeongsaejae Museum) offers the history of traditional roads and routes in Korea. In the past, Mungyeongsaejae was a transportation hub for the people of Korea, particularly during the Joseon Period. Mungyeongsaejae is home to Haneuljae (one of the oldest roads in Korea, first established in 156 AD), Tokkibiri (a famous trade route), and Yugok Station (a transport hub in the Yeongnam area).Even though the importance of the roads as travel routes has diminished over time, they continue to increase in culture significance, conveying the area’s rich traditional heritage to visitors. The Museum of Old Roads was opened in 2009 after having been remodeled from the Mungyeongsaejae Museum, which mainly dealt with local history.

Jungang Park
Chungcheongbuk-do(Cheongju-si)

This park was built on the site of the Chungju government office during the Joseon period. Some government buildings such as Cheongnyeongheon and Jegeumdang still remain, although they collapsed in a fire in 1870 (7th year of King Gojong’s reign) and were repaired in October of the same year by the governor of Chungju Jo Byeong-ro. With interior improvement, the refurbished structures were used as government offices for Jungwon-gun. However, with the relocation of the county office in 1983, the site was transformed into a park. The peaceful ambiance of the thick forest inhabited by a 500-year-old Zelkova tree and numerous pine trees, the historic Chungcheong Gamyeongmun Gate and Fortress Monument as well as Cheongnyeongheon and Jegeumdang, create a relaxing shelter. In this park, visitors can also see a kitchen from the ancient government office, the Sangosucheonggak building and a Martyrs’ Monument that pays tribute to the memory of Roman Catholics who died as martyrs during the Sinyubakhae and Byeonginbakhae persecutions.

Pocheon Idong Galbi Maeul Village
Gyeonggi-do(Pocheon-si) , Pocheon

Idong Galbi is a famous term for Korean representing the delicious hanu (Korean beef) short ribs that's been made with high quality meat and marinated sauce. Once the meat is prepared, it is usually marinated in sweet soy sauce and various other fruit juice for some days. The recipes could differ slightly for each restaurant, therefore serving as a barometer that differentiates one store's taste from another. Nowadays, people can see signboards embedding "Idong Galbi" in many of establishments in Korea, however, the food was originated from Jangam-ri, Idong-myeon located in Pocheon of Gyeonggi-do. Now a huge town housing dozens of the galbi restaurants, this galbi-chon (or galbi village in English), only began with two stores in the early 1960s. 'Idong Galbi Jip (이동갈비집)' and 'Neutari Galbi (느타리갈비집)' were them, and after it earned the fame of becoming the 'local dish' of Pocheon, many more restaurants began to spring out. The secret to Idong Galbi is that they are slowly cooked over charcoal fire and thus has an additional "fire taste" that many like, as well as the tenderness that even the old and young enjoy. Secondly, the sauce is made only with natural ingredients such as pear, radish, onions and others, making it especially tasty and luring people to come for more. Besides, Idong makgeolli (rice wine) is also a famous local product that complements well with the meal. These days, unfortunately due to cost issues, some restaurants can no longer use hanu to make galbi but American beef are used instead.
