An Autumn Day of Reminiscing with Children

Stepping away from the city to fully immerse oneself in nature is a true blessing. The mountains and fields of Yangpyeong offer an ideal travel destination to experience the warm nostalgia of a hometown. Experiencing the pure innocence of the novel 'Sonagi (A Shower)' at Hwang Sun-won Literary Village Sonagi Village is a gift of lasting memories for children. Meeting fascinating insects at the Insect Museum and stargazing at Jungmisan Observatory are wonderful bonuses.
