Heungryunsa Temple is a Buddhist center of the Jogyejong Order. Located in Jukdobong Park (downtown Suncheon), Heungryunsa Temple is a shrine of the god Sakyamuni (the main statue of Buddha). The site was previously used as an archery range. * History Heungryunsa Temple is a branch of Hwaeonsa Temple, which is the 19th local temple of the Jogyejong Order. It is said that Heungryunsa Temple was constructed during the reign of King Seonjo of the Joseon Dynasty and that the site was used as a place where naval forces practiced archery during the Japanese invasion in 1592. At the same time, the temple was the first military base of monk-turned-military officers from Hwaeomsa, Songgwangsa, and Seonamsa Temples. The current building was re-constructed in 1986 by Monk Jongwon, who is still the chief abbot of the temple.  


Gangwon-do(Goseong-gun)

The villa of Kim Ilsung, former leader of North Korea, is perhaps better known as the Castle of Hwajinpo, for its fortress-like exterior. The villa was used as a summer house not only by the Kim family, but also by high-level members of the Communist Party from 1948 to 1950. The interior of the castle keeps history alive through a set-up of personal items and materials used by the Kim family. There is one photo in particular of a young Kim Jongil standing at the foot of the stairs that brings a sense of intimacy to this secretive family.

The Curator’s Secret Garage: Discovering the Miniature Worlds of "Gallery GT" (Where a Renowned Artist’s Passion for Rare Cars Comes to Life) Incheon, South Korea — Within the colossal industrial grandeur of the Incheon Sangsang Platform, there exists a hidden universe that operates on a much smaller, yet infinitely more detailed scale. Welcome to Gallery GT, a sanctuary for the collector, the dreamer, and the artist. While the venue impresses with its size, the true magic lies in its details. This is not merely a shop; it is the physical manifestation of a 20-year obsession with automotive beauty, curated by a true master of the arts. The Story: From Sculptor to Collector The soul of Gallery GT is its founder, a renowned fine artist celebrated in the Korean art world for his powerful and dynamic sculptures of Oxen (So). For over two decades, while chiseling life into stone and metal, he nurtured a parallel passion: collecting rare automobiles. What began as a personal hobby has blossomed into this extraordinary gallery, inviting travelers to step inside his private world of mechanical wonder. A Treasury of Rarity: Die-Cast Models & Vintage Classics For enthusiasts in the know, Gallery GT is already a pilgrimage site. It is famous among Korean "maniacs" (dedicated enthusiasts) for its uncompromising collection. • The Die-Cast Collection: The shelves here are lined with treasures that are difficult to find elsewhere. From precision-engineered die-cast models to rare figures, the shop specializes in scarce items that tell the history of the automobile. • Old & Vintage: The curator’s eye favors the classics. You will find a stunning array of vintage mini-cars and "Old Car" models that evoke a sense of nostalgia and timeless elegance. It is a place where you can hold a piece of automotive history in the palm of your hand. Where Sculpture Meets Mechanics What makes Gallery GT truly unique is the juxtaposition of art forms. Amidst the sleek lines of the model cars, you will find the artist’s original Ox sculptures on display and available for purchase. The contrast is striking: the rugged, organic energy of the Ox sculptures sitting alongside the precise, industrial perfection of the model cars. This combination transforms the space from a simple retail shop into a complex cultural gallery, offering a visual feast that appeals to both art lovers and car aficionados. Why It Is a "Must-Visit" You do not need to be a die-hard collector to appreciate Gallery GT. 1. The Hunt for Treasure: Whether you are looking for a unique souvenir or a rare addition to your own collection, this is the best place in Incheon to find something special. 2. A Visual Museum: Even if you are just browsing, the sheer variety and detail of the items on display make it feel like visiting a miniature car museum. 3. The Artist’s Touch: It is a rare opportunity to meet the vision of a creator who bridges the gap between fine art and pop culture collectibles. [Traveler’s Note] Gallery GT offers a unique shopping experience where you can acquire both a masterpiece of Korean sculpture and a rare vintage model car in one visit. It is a space fueled by passion—and that passion is contagious.

Gyeongsangbuk-do(Cheongsong-gun)

Located in Cheongsong-gun County, Gyeongsangbuk-do Province, Pyeongsansinssi Pansagongpa Jongtaek is the head house of the noble Pyeongsan Sin family line. The house was created by Sin, Han-Tae, during the era of King Sukjong (1674-1720) of the Joseon Dynasty. Ever since its construction centuries ago, the house has been inhabitated by the descendants of Sin, Deuk-Cheong, the 15th eldest grandson of the General, Sin, Sung-Gyem. This house has all of the features that are representative of upper–class houses of the Joseon Era. The buildings of the house are built in a rectangular shape, with the courtyard in the center. The compound consists of Soteuldaemun (high-rising gate), Haengrangchae (servants’ quarters located next to the gate), Gotgan (storeroom in which grain and other items were stored), Anchae (room for the female family members) and a pavillion. Within the same village as Pyeongsansinssi Pansagongpa Jongtaek are Seobyeok Gotaek and Sanam Gotaek, houses of the Sin clan. The entrance of the village is protected by thick pine groves and the Yonjeconcheon Stream (a tributary of Nakdonggang River), both of which add natural beauty to the deeply historic area.
