| Introduction | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cheongpung Cultural Heritage Complex (청풍문화재단지) in Jecheon, Chungcheongbuk-do contains a variety of cultural heritages and artifacts that were collected from the region before it was flooded in 1985 during the construction of Chungjuho Lake. Here, visitors can see Hanbyeokru Pavilion, Seokjo Yeoraeipsang Buddha, Paryeongru Pavilion, Geumanmru Pavilion, Geumbyeongheon Hall, Eungcheonggak Pavilion and the Cheongpung Confucian School as well as nearly 2,000 household artifacts. It has become an outdoor museum of the glorious culture of the upper reaches of Namhangang River.
Cheongpung Cultural Heritage Complex also offers a beautiful riverside drive (10km-long) along the road from Multae-ri to Jecheon. Beginning in mid-April, the Cheongpung Cherry Blossom Festival is held in the area of Cheongpung Cultural Heritage Complex and Cheongpungho Lake. Yeolliji (연리지) and Yeollimok trees are famous here. If two trees grow in close proximity for a long time, they grow together, which is called ‘Yeolli.’ Because the two trees are united into one, they are often compared to ‘passionate love’ (widely known as a ‘Love Tree’). These trees are called either ‘Yeolliji’ (branches are connected) or ‘Yeollimok’ (trunks are connected). The former is far rarer than the latter. |
