Aranggak Pavilion

Gyeongsangnam-do(Miryang-si) , Yangsan・Miryang・Changnyeong

Located in Naeil-dong in Miryang, Gyeongsangnam-do Province, Aranggak Pavilion sits in a bamboo forest. It is said to have been built to appease the spirit of a young woman named Arang, who met an unfortunate death. According to legend, Arang was mistakenly killed by a low-ranking officer who had loved her and tried to hug her. After her death, she becomes a ghost and appears to every district magistrate (highest-ranking officer in a region) to appeal for the investigation of her unfair death, but each district magistrate dies of a heart attack. Then, a new district magistrate by the name Lee is dispatched to the area. Unlike his predecessors, Lee listens to the story of the ghost and finds the low-ranked officer who had killed her and punishes him. He found Arang’s body and holded a religious ceremony on her behalf. Aranggak was also built in her memory. Every year, an event called Arangje is held on April 16 by the lunar calendar in Aranggak Pavilion. Young maidens dressed in white hanbok perform a religious ceremony to soothe the sorrow of Arang. There is also a saying that the spirit of Arang will preserve the love of those couples who visit the pavilion together.

[Ganghwa Nadeul-gil Course 7] Road to the Mud Flats ([강화 나들길 제7코스] 갯벌보러 가는 길)

Incheon(Ganghwa-gun) , Ganghwado Island

Nadeul-gil means a leisurely outing (nadeuri) road. Comprised of 19 courses in total, the Ganghwa Nadeul-gil Trail offers a variety of historical assets and cultural sites to see. Each Nadeul-gil course connects Ganghwa Fortress outposts that are located every 1.3 km on high ground along the walking paths. The trails are on the island of Ganghwa which holds many Goryeo Dynasty remains that are important to Korean history. Fortresses that stood against Mongolian invasions are still standing and many of the Goryeo Kingdom’s palaces and royal tomb sites are also found in Ganghwa region. Exploring the major cultural heritage sites dispersed throughout the town can be just as fun as exploring Ganghwa’s natural beauty. The sunset on the Seohae (West coast), expansive open mud flats, views from Marisan and Goryeosan Mountains and the peaceful farming villages are just a handful of the sights along this walking trail. The establishment of Ganghwa Nadeul-gil’s begins with the ancient scholar Go Jae-hyeong (pen name Hwanam), who left his hometown Ganghwa on a spring day in 1906 when the peach trees were in full bloom. He walked through more than 100 villages around the whole island. Back home, he composed poems about his journey and published them under the title of “Simdo Gihaeng (Simdo Travels),” Simdo being another name for Ganghwa. During his travels, he sang songs of his home Ganghwa. Thanks to his work, people can now follow in the footsteps of Hwanam and his appreciation of the beautiful scenery and great people of Ganghwa Island.

Gyeongsangbuk-do(Chilgok-gun) , Mungyeong・Sangju・Gumi

Gasansanseong Fortress (가산산성) in Chilgok-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do is located in the middle of Chilgok-gun, between Daegu Metropolitan City and Gumi. Mt. Gasan (901m in elevation) is 10km west of Mt. Palgongsan. Because it boasts seven peaks, the mountain was called, ‘Chilbongsan.’ After enduring large wars including the Imjinwaeran (Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592) and the Byeongjahoran (Chinese invasion of Korea in 1636), the Joseon rulers built a fortress over the course of 100 years in the mid Joseon period to aid in Korea’s defense. It is Korea’s only three-layered fortress, consisting of inner, outer and central walls. The flat Gasanbawi Rock (가산바위) at the mountain’s peak, which is large enough to accommodate 100 people at a time, offers a great view of Daegu Metropolitan City. * Structure – Stone fortress encircling a valley, strategic fortress * Size and date - Inner wall: 4.0km (17-18th (1640) and 26th (1648) year of King Injo’s reign) - Outer wall: 3.0km (26-27th (1701) year of King Sukjong’s reign) - Central wall: 0.6km (17th (1741) year of King Yeongjo’s reign)

Gyeongsangbuk-do(Gyeongju-si) , Gyeongju

The tomb of the King Wonseong, 38th king of the Silla Kingdom (785-798) in Oedong-eup, Wolseong-gun, Gyeongju is Historic Site No. 26. The tomb is 21.9m in diameter and 7.7m high and is encircled by a stone fence decorated with twelve oriental zodiac images. The area is also home to a number of stone monuments that stand facing each other: Hwapyoseok (marking the border of the tomb), Muninseok (civil servant statue), Muinseok (military officer image statue) and Dolsaja (a stone lion that protects the tomb). Muinseok in particular is a favorite among visitors because of its exotic appearance. The statue is sometimes compared to a strong and charismatic person of Arabic or Persian descendant, much like the merchants who came to Silla in ancient times. Gwaereung is styled after tombs of the Tang dynasty, but still retains all the characteristics typical of Silla tombs; namely, the stones around the tomb, the 12 oriental zodiac figures, the protective walls, and the decorative stonework.

KKULJUDANG(Korean Traditional Liquor Atelier)

Incheon(Jemulpo-gu) , Incheon Center

The Alchemist of Incheon: Brewing Culture at "Kkuljudang (Korean Traditional Liquor Atelier)" (Where a "Liquor Artist" Transforms Rice into Golden Memories in the Historic Baedari District) Incheon, South Korea — In the fast-paced world of travel, Incheon is often seen merely as a gateway—a city of terminals and transit. But for the discerning traveler willing to venture just beyond the airport, a profound cultural treasure awaits in the nostalgic alleys of Baedari. Welcome to Kkuljudang (Korean Traditional Liquor Atelier), the only operating traditional brewery in Incheon’s Dong-gu district. It is more than a bottle shop; it is a Traditional Liquor School and a sanctuary of fermentation where the history of Korea is brewed, bottled, and taught. The Masterpiece: "Geumchang Makgeolli" (2025 Grand Prize Winner) The soul of Kkuljudang (Korean Traditional Liquor Atelier) is its signature brew, Geumchang Makgeolli. This is not the mass-produced rice wine found in convenience stores; it is a work of art that captivated the judges to win the Grand Prize (Best Takju) at the 2025 Korea Liquor Awards within just one year of its launch. • The Philosophy of Purity: It is a Sungokju (Pure Grain Wine), crafted using nothing but rice, water, and Nuruk (traditional fermentation starter). • The Process: While commercial brands rush production, Kkuljudang waits. The liquor undergoes a labor-intensive "Sam-yang-ju" process (brewed three times) followed by two months of fermentation and aging. • The Taste Profile: By intentionally lowering the sugar content of the rice, the brew achieves a sophisticated structure. It is dry yet subtly sweet, with surprising notes of banana and vanilla emerging naturally from the rice—without a single drop of artificial flavoring. As the owner describes, it is designed to be "a drink you can enjoy deeply," with a clean finish that beckons the next sip. The Sustainable Gourmet: Upcycled Pairing For a complete sensory journey, we recommend the Geumchang Makgeolli Gift Set. It pairs the award-winning wine with a unique culinary innovation: Upcycled "Jigemi" Snacks. Made from the nutrient-rich rice lees left over from brewing, these snacks (available in Sweet & Salty or Spicy flavors) represent the atelier's commitment to sustainability. They are best enjoyed in the beautiful "Moon Cup" (Dal-jan), which mimics the image of a full moon floating in your drink. The Experience: Become a Brewer for a Day Kkuljudang (Korean Traditional Liquor Atelier) invites you to stop being a spectator and start being a creator. The venue operates as a Traditional Liquor School, offering programs ranging from professional 15-week master classes to accessible One-Day Classes perfectly suited for travelers. • The One-Day Brewing Class: This is an unmissable itinerary for visitors. Under the guidance of the master brewer, you can learn to make Danyangju (single-brew rice wine), the foundation of Korean liquor. It is a hands-on experience where you touch the grain, smell the yeast, and understand the science of fermentation. • Hyangeumjurye (Drinking Etiquette): Beyond brewing, guests can learn the traditional Korean etiquette of drinking, adding a layer of cultural depth to the tasting experience. The Artisan: The "Liquor Artist" The vision behind Kkuljudang (Korean Traditional Liquor Atelier) belongs to CEO Na Yoon-kyung, who prefers the title "Liquor Artist" (Sul-Jakga). Her journey began with a fascination for vinegar—the natural progression of fermented alcohol—which led her to the world of traditional brewing. "Just as a painter creates with a brush, I create flavors through living microorganisms. I can make the liquor sweet or bitter, orchestrating the life within the bottle," says Na. Her dream is to revitalize the old downtown of Incheon, turning it into a "playground for brewers" where warmth and culture flow as freely as the wine. The Ultimate Layover: A Transit Tour Destination The atelier has a clear mission for the international traveler: "Don't just pass through Incheon; taste it." Located conveniently for those coming from Incheon International Airport, it serves as an ideal Transit Tour destination. Instead of waiting in a terminal, spend your layover in a historic brewery. Make your own makgeolli, taste the award-winning vintage, and carry the scent of Korea with you to your next destination.

Silsangsa Temple

Jeollabuk-do(Namwon-si) , Namwon・Imsil・Sunchang

The Silsangsa Temple was constructed by monk Jeunggak, as one of nine special temples in the year 828. The temple was established because of the theory of divination, based on topology. The belief held that Korea’s good spirit would be taken away to Japan, bringing bad luck if the temple was not constructed on this particular location. The temple was reconstructed in the 26th year of Joseon Sukjong’s reign (1700) after it was completely destroyed by the Japanese invasion in 1597. However, it was almost burnt down in the 19th year of King Gojong’s reign (1882). It is presently preserved just as it belonged to the Unified Silla Kingdom, with its three-story pagoda and its 11 treasures with a total of 17 cultural assets. The entrance of the temple lies in the middle of a rice field and the temple has a pastoral view, surrounded by trees. From the entrance, you can cross the half-moon shaped stone bridge, and just beyond that a remarkable totem pole.
