‘Smile Grandma’ in the Street of Youth | Interview | A popular figure in the Street of Youth in Gwancheol-dong ~! Do you know “Smile Grandma”? The street of youth in Gwancheol-dong has been renovated by rearranging Jongno’s stalls on the road, which used to cause messed-up streets and inconvenience for pedestrians, to become the sights for natives and foreigners. Everyone who has been to this place may have seen a grandma selling flowers on a stall in the middle of the street. She could have been missed, but we suddenly got curious about her who has been selling flowers with the same clothes in the same spot. Writing∙Photos | by News Reporter Team of Tourism Division “Gwancheol-dong Smile Grandma” of 37 years’ stay in Jongno” It is Un-ju Jo (71) who has been selling flowers every day in the crowded street in front of Exit 12 of Jonggak Subway Station, Subway Line 1 for 37 years. “As per myself, I am always wearing this T-shirt printed ‘The Street of Youth’. I am wearing all day while I am selling flowers. I was wearing when I made a trip to Boseong Green Tea field with my family, and when I went to Hwacheon, Gangwon-do with my friends in in the neighborhood, and even when I visited my hometown, Gochang in Jeollabuk-do. I really want to boast of this T-shirt~!” The right of pedestrians in Jongno streets used to be heavily restricted by messed-up stalls. The stalls for their livelihood had been supervised and controlled, but they did not have any other choice, which caused a vicious circle. However, now they moved to the permitted zone in the Street of Youth, which changed into a pleasant walking theme street linked to tourist attractions like Cheongyecheon and Insadong nearby. “We used to sell on pedestrian streets, which caused a lot of inconvenience to tourist passing by this area and troubles with local officials. But now look at this clean Street of Youth, where we can sell comfortably.” The Street of Youth, turned into a new tourist attraction The Street of Youth in Gwancheol-dong is a start point of tourist courses with great accessibility, linking with Jongno’s main attractions such as Cheongyecheon, Insadong and Dongdaemun. Also the goods of these stalls are very low-priced and various like accessories, clothes and miscellanies. “Lots of foreign tourists are visiting this area. But I believe that we should be more courteous and friendly to them, if we wish there are more visitors to come. We always welcome tourists with a smile. Besides, the goods for sale here are inexpensive with good quality. We refund strictly and never rip them off, which is a point to be trustworthy.” The Grandma said that she is very proud of selling in the Street of Youth in Gwancheol-dong, keeping a big smile on her wrinkled face through the interview. “I will continue to sell flowers with pride in this Street of Youth. There is no rule that only celebrities can promote. I am a spokesperson of this street~! I will go on selling flowers mixed with courage and hope for the busy and tired people. (Smile)” Is the reason that flowers are filled with courage and hope? The scent of flowers the Smile Grandma is selling makes people smile naturally. P04-06 | Special Feature of This Month | Seokpajeong The Yangban (the two upper classes in the Joseon Dynasty)’s Villa in the middle of Seoul, ‘Seokpajeong’ Writing∙Photos | by News Reporter Team of Tourism Division Named “Samgyedong Pavillion” as “Samgyedong” was carved on a rock There is a Hanok (a traditional Korean-style house) style architecture on the hill to the left passed through Jahamun tunnel on the way from Gyeongbokgung toward Sangmyung University. This is Seokpajeong, the Prince Daewon (1820~1898)’s Villa, which is No.26 tangible cultural asset of Seoul. Seokpajeong, a villa with a farm, originally belonged to Kim Heung-geun (1796~1870) who served as a high-ranking official including Yeong-uijeong (a prime minister of the Joseon dynasty), and it was very famous for its its scenic beauty all over Hanyang (the old name of Seoul). Thus the Prince Daewon, who was a man of power of the day, asked to rent it for a day and visited it with his son, King Gojong. Hearing of their visit, Kim Heung-geun presented this villa to the Prince Daewon, as he could no longer visit the place where King Gojong stayed. The story was introduced in Hwang Hyeon’s book, Maecheonyarok. As the letters of ‘Samgyedong’ was carved on a rock to the northwest of Seokpajeong’s back, it was called “Samgyedong Pavillion” when Kim Heung-geun owned it. Then, after the Prince Daewon had this villa, he changed his pen name into ‘Seokpa’, named after the rocks in front of the villa, and the name of its pavilion was also changed into Seokpajeong. All the gates of this private land are shut fast, so there are few opportunities to look inside. But the ower of Seokpajeong, Seokpa Cutural Co., Ltd., specially allowed us to get in this time. From now on, let’s walk into the villa of the Yangban at the end of the Joseon Dynasty, more than 100 years ago. The tinkling of wind-bells… At the entry of Seokpajeong, there is a valley on the left, linked to Mt. Inwang, and the valley water is running down resulting in a pond, where a rock was written ‘Sosuunryumam’ (a little temple nestles in the valley water with a cloud shade) by Gwon Sang-ha (1641∼1721). Climbing a slope to the left of this valley for a while, there will appear the buildings of Seokpajeong surrounded by maple trees and pine trees. Seokpajeong now consists of the main house in the east, a detached house in the west, and other buildings including an annex on the hill of the detached house’s backside. The detached house is for men of the family. Its structure made a graceful impression without authoritative touch, as it might not have needed to boast of the power with the high stylobate in such valley surroundings. An old handsome pine tree (No.60 reserve-tree of Seoul) is laying its green leaves in the side yard. The building that had located between the detached house and the rock carved ‘Samgyedong’ was moved to 125, Hongji-dong, Jongno-gu in 1958 by Sojeon, Son Jae-hyeong, a chirographer, and it was designated as No.23 tangible cultural asset of Seoul under the name of ‘Prince Daewon’s Villa’ in 1974. Then, its name has recently changed to ‘Seokpajeong Annex’ in consideration of its history and character. Now it is used as a high-class Korean traditional restaurant. The main house with a ‘ㅁ’ structure keeps the features of closed living spaces for Joseon’s women. Opening the gate to get in, the wall is seen first not to reveal the main house at once. It faces the south with a storeroom in front and a kitchen in the side. Women who are busy treating visitors can be visualized. There is a pathway to the annex between the detached house and the main house. An arch gate is decorated with painted and crane-shaped bricks. The arch gate very well matches with roofs in the middle. Climbing a flight of stone steps and pass through a small gate, there appears the annex with a ‘ㅡ’ structure. The annex has its own space, separated by the wall. Standing here, the scenic view of Mt. Inwang and Bukak can be seen at once. Noisy automobile horns die away and rustling leaves and tinkling wind-bells are heard instead. All concerns and worries disappear by the view of autumnal tints from a pavilion… Going down the stone steps and climbing a path along the stream toward Mt. Inwang, between small valleys there is a little Chinese-style square pavilion with a bronze roof, named ‘Yususeong-jung-gwanpung-ru’. Sitting on the pavilion and listening to the sound of water are likely to remove all worldly conceptions. The Prince Daewon may have tried to forget his concerns here. There used to be a garden with a pond and a pavilion surrounded by various flowers. However, the aspect of those days was introduced to a book, Sochisillok, of Sochi, Heo Ryeon (1808~1893), a great master of Namjonghwa (a Chinese painting of the Southern School), who wrote the memories of his stay at Seokpajeong under Kim Heung-geun’s favor. “When watching the Lantern Festival in the evening last year, Kim Heung-geun took me into the pavilion of Samgyedong. It was located outside Changuimun. Streams and mountains were very deeply laid and the surroundings of the pavilion looked like a fairy land. He took a rest on the Hyeondaeru, and walked over the stream on the Wolcheonjeong. He built a house after the Chinese style in the west of the Hyeondaeru. All the walls and railings were carved manually, and the garden was full of the flowers and plants of fairyland. Entering the gate, there were their scents making the sky comfortably warm. The most particular thing was that there were red flowers of wisterias in a cluster, emitting their scents here and there on the well shelf in front of the eaves. Coming out of a gate in the west of the house, there appeared a hexagonal pavilion among trees with the sound of a stream. Walking along a narrow path, there was a little pavilion with a curved railing floating over the sound of running water. The stone walls in the both sides looked as though it were embroidered in silk thread. Mysterious birds came near to sing their songs and there was also a spring that had never got dry at the end of the stream. Passages were made by digging the rocks and ditches were by penetrating the rocks, which were the running ways of the stream to the pavilion over the water. He must have paid thousands of money for that elaborate construction. Kim Heung-geun specially liked me, and allowed me to stay at an annex in the west. During the one-night stay, I had a very nice dream, and I seemed to get into Hyeonpo (the location for virtuous persons’ living in Mt. Gonryun of old Chinese myths) and Nangwon (the location for wizards). It might be ascribed to the owner, Prince Daewon’s adverse fate? Seokpajeong was handed down to the Prince Daewon’s decedents, and was used as the Koromba orphanage run by the Catholic foundation after the 1950's Korean War, and then was auctioned in the past. Fortunately, the present proprietor, Seokpa Cutural Co., Ltd., has announced that they will restore Seokpajeon and open to the public. Thus we are looking forward to seeing the villa as citizens’ belongings. Toward Sangmyung University Seokpajeong Jahamun-gil Mt.

Every Nook and Corner of Our Neighborhood | Sajik-dong The place like hidden fine jewelry, Sajik-dong Writing∙Photos | by News Reporter Team of Tourist Division
When you are fully satisfied with the food, let’s move to the residence area turning to the right in front of the restaurant. Walking along the street in the first sideway, there appears the site of a white pine, which used to stand there. It was designated as a natural monument No.4 because the species of white pine is hard to find in the Korean Peninsula. Unfortunately, the oldest tree fell down by heavy storm in 1990, so now you can only see the site with its bottom. One of the interesting stories about the tree is that the study of its annual rings it revealed that the growth of the tree had stopped from the year of 1910 to the late 1940s. The growth discontinuity of the tree overlapped with the period of Japan’s illegal occupation of the Korean Peninsula. It is believed that the tree may have been in deep sorrow at such Korean circumstances at those days. Leaving the secret of the white pine, which few people know, and walking toward Sajik-dong community service center, you will get to Sajik-Bunsik (Korean style snack bar) that was introduced to the famous cartoon, Sikgaek (the food story). This restaurant is famous for Cheongkukjang (fermented soybeans). Even though the place looks humble, it is crowded with office workers who are willing to wait for a long time to enjoy the great Korean traditional food at lunch time. Walking along the array passing the restaurant, you can meet Paihwa Girls’ High School founded by the American missionary, J. P. Campbell in October, 1898. She established the girls’ school to deliver modern education as well as Christianity. The building has been looking cozy and lovely from its foundation through Japan’s colonial rule. It is truly different from red building lumps of ordinary schools in Korea so that you can take wonderful pictures against the backdrop of the school. You should not miss the landscape of Seoul from the view point of Baehwa Women’S University nearby Paihwa Girls’ High School. It is superb and impressive. � Sajikdan (an altar to the state deities), breathing of ancestors and Hwanghakjeong (Pavilion) Walking down from Paihwa Girls’ High School to Sajik-dong community service center, you will find Sajikdan and Sajik Park. Sajikdan is an altar to the deities of land (SA) and the deities of crop (JIK) to pray for the country’s peace and its people’s happiness. After King Taejong appointed Hanyang (the old name of Seoul) as the capital of the Joseon Dynasty in 1394, the third year of King Taejong, the King ordered to construct an altar (Dan) in the next year. When the construction was completed, the building was enclosed with fences for the rooms and doors for the deities. Behind Sajikdan, there is Sajik Park, which lots of people use as a resting spot during their walk since it is near the entrance of Mt. Inwang. Strolling along the upper way of Sajik Park, you can see a site for archery, Hwanghakjeong. The site was built by King Gojong (the last emperor of the Joseon Dynasty) to have soldiers practice archery near the northern wall of Huisangjeon in Gyeongbokgung. At that time the new weapons started to appear and the military service examination was abolished so the archery was gradually antiquated. To build Gyeongseong Middle School, Japan destroyed Gyeonghuigung in 1922 and sold the building so that it had to be moved and reconstructed as a current Hwanghakjeong. Nowadays the site is open to only members and many people visit the site to enjoy a Korean-style bow. If you are lucky, you can have an opportunity to closely look at the real scene of Korean-style archery. Leaving Hwanghakjung and sauntering about a wooded path, you can find Dangunseongjeon (a sacred shrine). Originally it was located at Namsan (mountain) in Seoul, but in 1925 Japanese imperialism destroyed it to build Joseonsingung which was a temple for ancestors of Japan. In 1957 the temple was rebuilt at Sajik-dong. In the temple there is a statue of Dangun who was the founding father of the Korean nation. Looking at the statue that is different from normal statues of Buddha, you would feel strange and odd. At last you can move to Sungkok Art Museum that established to pay tribute to the memory of the late Kim Sung-kon, the founder of SSangyong Group. After you see great art works in the museum, you may complete the tour of Sajik-dong by taking a break in a nice café nearby. Added to this, you can find Jongno Culture and Sports Center and Gwanghwamun Arts Hall after 5 minutes’ walk in front street of Dangunseongjeon. It is good to know that there is a permanent performance of Kim Duk-soo’s traditional play, which is famous for Samulnori, at Gwanghwamun Arts Hall.

Anseong’s Tourist Attraction「New Eight Famous Spots in Anseong」 1. Calm and tranquil Lake Geumgwang The lake size is 450,000-pyoeng and it is a good fishing place where there are crucian carps in spring, native crucian carps in summer and carps and big crucian carps in autumn. Along the lakeside, there are quiet and exotic cafes and luxurious sleeping accommodations for the family weekenders. 2. Thickly-wooded and beautiful Mt. Seoun It is thickly-wooded and has beautiful geographical features. There are picturesque lake and lonely temple around the mountain. In summer, the mountain is overgrown with tall pine trees and broadleaf trees, which present good scenery. 3. Millennium temple with high dignity, Seongnamsa (Temple) It was built in the reign of King Munmoo of Silla Dynasty and rebuilt by the national priest Hyegeo in the reign of King Gwangjong of Korea Dynasty. It has simple and grand main temple, flying crane-shaped Palzak roof and Zibinyeongsanjeon. In winter, the snow-covered Seongnamsa is more cozy and grand. 4. Mirinae sacred ground with the holy walk and spindle trees Mirinae means the Milky Way in Korean and it is the Catholic sacred ground where Korea first Catholic priest Daegun Kim is enshrined in. Over 100,000 pilgrims and tourists visit every year. When promenading along the spindle trees, we feel quiet and peaceful. 5. Main temple of Chiljangsa (Temple) with discolored and antique pictures Some say that it was built by the priest Jajang in the reign of Queen Seondeok on the 5th year (636) and some say that Hongjaegwan was built as the self-discipline place by the priest Hyeso in Korea in the location of Bigak and rebuilt in the reign of King Hyeonjong on the 5th year. The main temple with the discolored and antique pictures lost its pattern but boasts the grave figure. 6. Jukjusanseong with natural beauty Jukju is the old name of Juksan. The circumference of the fortress wall is about 1.2km and was built in the era of the Three States. It is the stony wall consisting of the main wall, exterior wall and interior wall. It is very strong and holds the natural beauty. When walking between the pine trees and acicular trees along the historical castle you can hear the shout of the violent ancient war. 7 Wet foggy and dreamlike Lake Gosam The wet foggy and dreamlike scenery in the early morning, the prop over the water and the fishermen make us think of a piece of oriental painting. It is the location of the movie ‘The island” and very wide as if it is the sea surrounded by the land. It has beautiful scenery and many fishermen visit here even on weekdays. 8. Sunset of Mt. Bibong dying the mountain red There is the mud castle built along the ridge on top of 227.8m-high Mt. Bibong. There is Jangsubawi (rock) which is for the old peddlers. Specially, the sunset of Mt.

P14-15 | With Foreign Tourist | Foreign tourist’s Recommendation A cup of coffee in ’Buam-dong’ Writer | Mirjar Jongno...Feeling new To me, Jongno is the place for taking a meal with friends and chatting. It is an ideal place to me who enjoys reading because there are many bookstores. I think I know Jongno well because I have lived in Seoul for five years. But, I felt completely new about Jongno in taking the promotion video of Jongno-gu. When I travelled every corner of Jongno, I realized I know Jongno partly. Especially Buam-dong gave me a very special and pleasant experience. Impressive ‘Sanmotungi’ café located near Bugaksan(Mt.) Buam-dong was broadcasted many times and famous for the location of dramas and CF but I didn't know well. There are many cultural assets, art galleries, museum, but the most impressive thing was small cafés around the village. Of those, the café ‘Sanmotungi’ near Bugaksan(Mt.) was the most impressive to me. Because it is famous for the location of TV drama ‘Coffee Prince’, there were many Japanese drinking coffees when I went there for interview. The interior of the room is decorated with the various art works and properties which were used in TV drama and the terrace has nice view and scene. With the sweet music, a cup of coffee and the scenery of Bugaksan(Mt.) and Inwangsan(Mt.), I forgot this is the heart of Seoul. I was amazed that there was such natural place in Jongno, the heart of Seoul. One problem about this place is hard to get. But it is good for walk because it is clean and silent. Falling for the warm-hearted Korean Frankly speaking, Seoul is not familiar with Europeans. I came to Korea for just 6-month study but I was fascinated with Korean, which made me stay here for 5 years and act as the mediator between Korea and Germany. Likewise, I hope more Europeans would fascinate with Korean’s warm heart and Seoul where the nature and urban life coexist. “I was amazed that there was such natural place in Jongno, the heart of Seoul.
