Experience Mungyeong’s Pottery CulturePreviously, Mungyeong served as the connecting point between Seoul and the southern regions, but now, it is gaining popularity as the filming location for various movies and dramas. Some famous series include "Taejo Wang Geon (2000)," "Sungkyunkwan Scandal (2010)," and "The Moon Embracing the Sun (2012)." Also, over 200 ceramics were found at a kiln site originating in the 12th century, which led to the annual chasabal (traditional tea bowl) festival.
