Regular Performance Pyeongtaek Turtle Play
Gyeonggi-do(Pyeongtaek-si)

"Pyeongtaek Turtle Play" is a folk game handed down through generations in about 20 villages in Pyeongtaek. Having visited their ancestor’s grave, young men disguised as a turtle with sorghum leaves call from door to door to cast away demons and pray for good health, long life and fruitful harvest. This play embodies the culture of fun-loving Koreans who like sharing foods with their neighbors and cooperate with each other in promoting the unity of their village. In particular, the play has become Pyeongtaek’s representative folk game by receiving grand prize at the Gyeonggi-do National Art Festival in 2013 and silver prize at the Korean Folk Art Festival in 2014. "Pyeongtaek Turtle Play" is significant in that it contributes to the inheritance of Korean traditional heritage and gives people the opportunity to have fun together regardless of their gender and age.

Dongho Beach
Jeollabuk-do(Gochang-gun)

Dongho Beach (동호해수욕장) is located south of Gomsoman Bay, between the Byeonsan Peninsula of Buan and Gochang-gun, Jeollabuk-do. Skirting the 1km-long white sandy beach lies a green forest with pine trees hundreds of years old. The sunset viewed from the forest is particularly eye-catching as the soft pink from the falling sun covers the sky. The water just offshore is relatively shallow, varying in depth between 0.5 and 1.5 m. The high salt content in the seawater makes it an ideal place for sea and sand bathing. On the hill above the Haesong forest is Suseongdang, a temple honoring the God of the Sea, where the local fishermen gather each year to pray for big catches.

Dorimsa Temple (도림사)
Jeollanam-do(Gokseong-gun)

Dorimsa was built during the Silla Period (57 B.C.-935 A.D.). It lies on Seongchul Peak at Mt. Dongak (approximately 4km to the west of Gokseong-eup). Monk Wonhyo built the temple in 660 during the 7th year of King Muyeol. It houses Bogwangjeon (a Buddhist sanctuary) and many buildings such as Eungjindang, Jijangjeon, Yaksajeon, Chilseonggak, and Yosachae. The temple possesses the precious Buddhist painting called Gwaebultaeng created in 1683 during the 9th year of King Sukjong. The mountain surrounding the temple is Mt. Dongak (literally Movement of Music) because the sound of music reverberated across the entire mountain when Monk Wonhyo embarked on building the temple. In front of the temple is a beautiful valley surrounded by many odd-shaped rocks. The area shows traces of visits by some of the best scholars, writers and painters since the Joseon Period (1392-1910). Water flowing deep from Mt. Dongak, which stretches over 735 meters in x_height, converges into Dorimsa Valley and forms a dazzling landscape amidst magnificent waterfalls and lush pine forest. Naturally, the temple and its vicinity attract many visitors year-round.

Chungcheongbuk-do(Danyang-gun)

Sainam Rock, located in Sainam-ri, Daegang-myeon, is one of eight scenic areas in Danyang, and is located in the southeast side of Danyang-gun, along with Sangseonam Rock, Jungseonam Rock, and Haseonam Rock of Seonam Valley. The Sainam Rock is a rugged outcropping with an inspiring x_height of 70 meters, and the deep blue Namjocheon Stream passes in front of it, located in the southern part of Danyang-gun. Most visitors to Danyang Eight Scenic Views tend to come to the rock as their first destination due to the good condition of the road. Also, Unseongugok Valley flows in front of Sainam Rock. The rock was picked as the most picturesque place among the Eight Scenic Views. On the cliff, there is a phrase carved by Utak’s own handwriting, as well as old pine trees on a rock floor that is reminiscent of the Haegeumgang River. Sainam was named after the great scholar Yeokdong Utak during Goryeo Period. He had taken up a public service to assist a king in a position called sain (사인), and then he retired to his hometown of Danyang, starting out teaching young students. For this story, a governor of Danyang named the rock Sainam to commemorate his achievement during King Seongjong of the Joseon Dynasty.

Gyeongsangbuk-do(Andong-si)

Oryuheon House, located near Imhaho Lake in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do, offers a chance to stay in a historic house from the Joseon period. The house, also known as Mogwa House, was built by Kim Won-jung, the third son of Sukjong-era rector of the National Academy Kim Bang-geol, when he formed a family of his own in 1678. It was designated as the National Folk Cultural Heritage No. 184. The door’s wooden frame and the open floor space exemplify the beauty of the literati house of the Joseon period, while the sarangchae (men’s quarters) and daemunchae (gate quarters) showcase the sophisticated architecture of the era. Anchae (women’s quarters) retains its original appearance, while the sarangchae was rebuilt in 1920. The construction of the Imha Dam in 1990 resulted in the house’s relocation to its present location. The owner of the house resides in anchae and sarangchae. Guests have access to a space that includes a 2-kan room, which can accommodate up to 4, an open floor space, and a bathroom. Cooking is prohibited in the house, but guests can make use of a grill located on a small yard reserved for the guests.

Munheon Confucian School (문헌서원)
Chungcheongnam-do(Seocheon-gun)

Munheon Confucian School was established to pay tribute to the memory of Lee Gok (1298-1351) and Lee Saek (1328-1396) who were well-respected for their writings and character. The school was originally built in the 27th year of the reign of King Seonjo (1594) of the Joseon Dynasty, but was burnt down during the Imjin Waeran (Japanese Invasion of Korea 1592-1598). It was rebuilt in Hansan Gochon in the 3rd year of King Gwanghaegun (1610) and in 1611 was awarded the “Munheon” sign by the government, thereby becoming a legislated private institute. Mortuary tablets of five Confucian scholars including Lee Jong-hak, Lee Ja, Lee Gae as well as Lee Gok and Lee Saek were enshrined at the school. The school recently added the tablet of one more scholar, named Lee Jong-deok, and holds a service annually for the 6 Confucian scholars in March and September (according to the lunar calendar). Muheon Confucian school consists of two parts: an educational area and a shrine. When you walk in the school through Oesammun Gate, you’ll see a garden and an auditorium and library at the far end where training takes places. The shrine is located past Naesammun Gate behind the auditorium and is surrounded by a wall.
