Gyeongsangbuk-do(Andong-si)

'Andong City in Gyeongsangbuk-do Province is a town of culture and folk traditions where one can trace the long history of eminent families. It is also a symbol of time-honored tradition to the extent that the name Andong reminds people of traditional Korean hanok houses. Isangru, an ancient hanok house with a history of 2,590 years, located in the foothills of Mt. Cheondeungsan, served as a venue for the memorial rite for Kim Seon-pyeong, the progenitor of the Andong Kim clan and a meritorious government official during the reign of King Taejo of the Goryeo Dynasty. Isangru, meaning ‘a tall majestic building built on frosty ground’, is a two-story wooden building with a tiled roof characterized by elegant curves that form a half-hipped shape when viewed from the side. The house consists of two accommodations, Taejangtaesa and Isangru, arranged in a ‘ㅁ’ shape. The large door located in the middle of the ground floor offers an open view of the beautiful natural environment including a pine grove, a pond, and wild flowers. Built in 1750, this hanok house shows its age in its wooden pillars, stone walls, and interiors decorated with wooden engraving on the handrail. Guests can stay in a room heated with wood in winter, or in a tent for a different experience in summer. The house has been well maintained with various repair works, and underwent extensive renovations, including the wallpaper and floors, in 2013. Although it is close to a road, the house is surrounded by old trees, creating the impression that it is situated in the middle of a dense forest. A path runs between ancient pine trees on the road leading to the house. There is a pond with water lilies and white lotus flowers in front of the house, while various species of wild flowers including big blue lily turf, plantain lily, montane aster, and asters come into full bloom around the house in their respective seasons. Fully maintained by the Andong Kim clan, Isangru is a large structure that can accommodate many people and is used to hold clan assemblies. This tall building is also used as a venue for concerts, seminars and traditional hands-on experience programs for students, including tea ceremony, masked dance, natural dyeing, hanji (Korean paper) crafts, and filial duty education programs. The house also offers guests a traditional nobleman’s dining table including various wild vegetable dishes for breakfast. Isangru is popular among Korean and foreign guests who want to experience traditional Korean culture or enjoy a relaxing stay with their parents amid beautiful nature. In addition, it is located between Hahoe Folk Village and Dosanseowon Confucian Academy in Andong, and offers easy access to other nearby tourist attractions including Bongjeongsa Temple, which is the oldest wooden building in Korea and is just three minutes’ drive away, and the two-hour-long Dulegil Trail.

Incheon Medical Support Center (Incheon Port New International Passenger Terminal) 1. Overview: Incheon’s Advanced Medical Tourism Operation System Incheon has established a top-tier medical tourism operation system to streamline medical tourism processes and ensure the systematic management of related procedures. By introducing two key platforms—FPIS (Foreign Patient Information System) and MTMS (Medical Tourism Marketing System)—Incheon actively promotes local medical institutions and specialized medical tourism products to prospective international patients. Through this comprehensive approach, the Incheon Medical Support Center stands as a central resource, providing efficient, reliable support for visitors seeking both travel and healthcare services. 2. Services & Benefits * Free or Simple Health Checks At the New International Passenger Terminal, visitors can often find basic health screening tools (e.g., blood pressure monitors, BMI devices) to quickly assess their current health. This immediate feedback can be especially useful after a ferry trip or for those feeling travel fatigue. * Medical Referrals & Coordination Staff can recommend reputable local hospitals, clinics, or specialized treatment centers in Incheon. Whether you need ongoing therapy, a routine check-up, or advanced procedures, the center helps simplify the appointment process. With FPIS, they maintain organized patient information and can connect travelers to appropriate medical institutions more swiftly and accurately. * One-Stop Medical Service Incheon’s “one-stop medical service” approach covers every stage of a foreign patient’s journey: from initial pre-arrival information-gathering to post-treatment follow-up after returning home. This integrated service allows medical tourists to conveniently access essential healthcare resources, confirm travel arrangements, and receive aftercare guidance, all within one cohesive system. * Marketing & Tourist Support Leveraging the MTMS (Medical Tourism Marketing System), the center promotes Incheon’s diverse medical tourism offerings to international patients, highlighting specialized treatments, wellness programs, and unique local attractions. Beyond healthcare, the center can provide travel tips, lodging recommendations, or tour ideas—helping travelers merge medical care with a rewarding tourist experience. 3. Location & Accessibility * Incheon Port New International Passenger Terminal The center is typically located in a visible area near the main passenger arrivals. If unsure, ask at an information counter for directions to the “Incheon Medical Support Center.” * Hours of Operation Timetables may vary depending on passenger ferry schedules or special circumstances. For current details, check official websites or social media channels. 4. Additional Tips for Travelers * Insurance & Documentation Have your travel insurance policy and relevant documents ready. This will expedite cost and coverage inquiries, especially when scheduling treatments or dealing with potential medical expenses. * Emergency vs. Non-Emergency For life-threatening conditions, call 119 (Korea’s emergency line) or proceed directly to an emergency facility. The Medical Support Center handles initial advice, simpler consultations, and referrals but is not an emergency department. * Language Support Staff may speak English, Chinese, or Japanese. For deeper discussions of complex medical issues, a translation app or professional interpreter might be helpful—particularly if you have detailed healthcare concerns. * Explore Incheon If your medical schedule allows, consider touring Incheon’s port areas, historical sites, or dining hubs. The center can give tips on combining medical treatments with local sightseeing or wellness programs. 5.
