Walking, Observing, and Experiencing Suseungdae... Geochang County Invites You on a National Heritage Journey

Experiential Programs Centered on Scenic Suseungdae Operate Through November

Geochang County, South Gyeongsang Province, announced that it will operate the national heritage program "Following Pavilions and Waterways: National Heritage Journey" from April to November 2026, centered around the scenic site of Suseungdae. This initiative is organized by the Geochang Heungsadan.

"Following Pavilions and Waterways: National Heritage Journey" is part of the National Heritage Administration’s public project, "Vivid National Heritage Utilization Project." The program was designed to promote Suseungdae not just as a tourist destination, but as a national heritage site rich in history and culture.

This program has been continuously held since 2014 and has established itself as a leading local cultural experience project.

In particular, last year it was recognized for its excellence by being selected as one of the "Top 10 National Heritage Utilization Program Brands" by the National Heritage Administration. It has received positive reviews as an experiential content that brings together local residents, youth, and tourists.

The program connects key national heritage sites in the area, including Suseungdae, Yosujeong, Guyeon Seowon, and Gwansuru, and offers a variety of activities that combine education, tourism, and hands-on experiences. Participants can learn and experience the history and stories embedded in these cultural assets on-site.

Major activities include "Defend Suseungdae," an educational program for elementary school students; "Orienteering at Suseungdae," a GPS-based interactive program; and "One Night, Two Days at Suseungdae," which combines exploration, performances, and overnight stays.

Among these, "Defend Suseungdae" will be held seven times for school groups, with a total of 350 participants expected. Participation is free of charge, allowing students to experience local cultural heritage without financial burden.

This year, the number of sessions will be increased, and traditional Korean music and theater performances will be added, further strengthening the program as a comprehensive content experience that integrates hands-on activities and performances. The county expects that families, schools, and organizations from various backgrounds will be able to enjoy national heritage easily and with great interest.

An official from Geochang County stated, "We hope this will be an opportunity to reflect on the historical value and significance of Suseungdae and to enhance pride in our local cultural heritage."
