Gyeonggi-do to Host 'Historical and Cultural Exploration Program' on October 14 and 21 at Gyeonggi Old Road

Gyeonggi Provincial Government

The Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Cultural Heritage Research Institute's Gyeonggi Old Road Center will hold the "Gyeonggi Old Road Exploration Program" on October 14 and 21 along the 7th route of the Pyeonghae-gil, "Jipyeong Hyanggyo-gil" (around Jipyeong-myeon, Yangpyeong-gun).

Gyeonggi Province will begin accepting participants for the program on a first-come, first-served basis starting from the 15th of this month.

This program is designed for families in the province with elementary school children to explore the Gyeonggi Old Road together with professional instructors, featuring various interactive activities that children can enjoy such as making Taegukgi pinwheels, cooperative jegi (shuttlecock) kicking, and card-flipping games.

The Pyeonghae-gil was one of the six main roads connecting Hanyang and the provinces during the Joseon Dynasty, linking Uljin and Hanyang.

Yangpyeong-gun has the longest route within a single city or county, spanning 91 km. The 7th route of Pyeonghae-gil stretches about 10 km from Yongmun Station to Seokbul Station. For this program, participants will explore a round trip of approximately 2 km from Jipyeong Station to Jipyeong Hyanggyo.

Applications can be submitted starting from the 15th of this month on a first-come, first-served basis through the Gyeonggi Cultural Foundation's "Jiji Members" website (members.ggcf.kr).

Gyeonggi Province will recruit 10 families (around 40 people) per session for the two exploration events on October 14 and 21.
