Gyeongsangbuk-do(Gyeongju-si)

Cheonggong Hanok is a mere 10 minutes away from Bulguksa Station (Donghae Line) on foot. The two traditional Hanok buildings house 10 rooms. Once you enter the main gate, the harmonious scene of a big grassy yard, a very old pine tree, a small pond, and the graceful Hanok buildings welcomes you. The garden looks a bit exotic, but there is a back story to it. The first architect of the house did business in Japan with his wife living alone in Gyeongju but regretted not having spent a long time with her; thus, he came back to Korea, built the biggest house possible, and lived with his wife for the rest of his life. Afterward, his descendants took over it, named it after the architect, Cheonggong, and opened it as a Hanok stay. That is how the space where Korea’s traditional Hanok and Japanese garden were put together by the Korean architect who did an extended stint in Japan came to be. The table used by the couple is preserved in the garden for guests to look at. Although it is a traditional Hanok, every room is equipped with a TV, a refrigerator, an air-conditioner, and a bathroom to make the space comfortable to stay even for children.

The Old House of Mansan (만산고택)

Gyeongsangbuk-do(Bonghwa-gun)

Situated beneath a low mountain in the southern area of Uiyang-ri, Chunyang-myeon, the east-facing The Old House of Mansan consists of a long haengrangchae (servants’ quarters, measuring 9-kan), a tall gate, a large courtyard, and a square-shaped bonchae (main building measuring 5 kan at the front and seven kan at the sides) in which the sarangchae (men’s quarters) and the anchae (women’s quarters) are connected. Unusually, the sarangchae faces east (it typically faces south), while the anbang (main living room) faces south. Consequently, the Jungmun Gate, the entrance to the anchae, faces north so as not to expose the anchae to exterior elements including cold winds. The sarangchae consists of a daecheong (main floored room) and a sarangbang room as well as a toetgan, a gamsil, a marubang (floored room), and a golbang (small room). The anchae, which surrounds the inner courtyard, comprises an anbang facing south, a witbang (upper room), and a ggumim marubang (floored room), which links to a warehouse, a kitchen, and a junggangbang (middle room). This wealthy house was built with high-quality wood and construction materials.
