According to the city, at the "2024 National Heritage Education Activation Workshop" held in Seoul, Yangju City received the excellent project award and presented as an exemplary case, introducing the importance of national heritage education and efforts to raise local residents' interest in national heritage.

This project, selected as an excellent project this year, is a convergence program linking the Yangju Hoeamsaji site and the heritage and nature scattered around it, providing participants with opportunities to learn and experience the world heritage value and historicity.

In particular, by operating school experiences, field experiences, and night programs together, the project went beyond simply touring national heritage sites and was conducted in a more three-dimensional and diverse manner, receiving great responses from participants.

Yangju City plans to promote the "Royal Temple Yangju Hoeamsaji Blooming as Everyone's World Heritage" project, selected again in 2025 by the National Heritage Agency's national heritage education activation program, to offer various programs to citizens.

A Yangju City official said, "We will make further efforts to widely promote the world heritage value of Hoeamsaji and enable citizens to experience national heritage and feel pride."
