Stepping Back into Joseon Dynasty Jeju

#summervacay The Jejumok Gwana Government Office is an absolute must-visit for anyone eager to step directly into Jeju Island's past during the Joseon Dynasty. This meticulously restored complex served as the island's central administrative hub for centuries, and walking through its gates feels like entering a living history book. You can explore the various traditional wooden buildings, including the main office, residential quarters, and ceremonial halls, all recreated with impressive historical accuracy. The intricate details of the architecture, from the tiled roofs to the sturdy wooden beams, offer a tangible connection to the island's rich heritage. It's a truly immersive experience that brings Jeju's administrative and cultural history vividly to life. Tip: Look for the detailed information boards (often with English translations) in each building to understand its specific function and historical context. #beachlife #thingstodo #seascapes #travel

"Jeju, Korea" Face to Face with History: The Charm of the Tamra Tour Map Experience Hall In 1702, Jeju Governor Yi Hengxiang led a tour around the island, accompanied by the specially commissioned artist Kim Nam-gil. The rich tapestry of images depicting horses, soldiers, administrative facilities, farmland, and tributes has become a precious historical scroll, the "Tamra Tour Map." Now, in the experience hall, you can delve into the institutional mechanisms and island life behind that tour through meticulously designed displays: delicate illustrations and detailed inspection records come alive. This immersive travel narrative envelopes the hall's space, seemingly enveloping the slightly yellowed years. The paintings unfold like a film sequence: officials march past the city walls, cavalry treads the paths, and golden rice ears gleam in the fields. Next to the maps, text details each route, grain storage figures, and the locations of castles and villages. With a simple tap of the touchscreen on the steps, I can replay the patrol's movements. For a time, history was no longer just cold words, but a dynamic scene that could be "touched".
