Cheongryeongpo, Yeongwol

The Cultural Heritage Administration announced on April 20 that it will run a national heritage exploration program five times next month in Yeongwol, Gangwon Province, which served as the backdrop for the film "The King and the Clown."

Participants will tour Yeongwol's iconic scenic sites, including Cheongryeongpo, where King Danjong was exiled, Seondol, the Korean Peninsula-shaped land formation, and Jangneung, the royal tomb where King Danjong rests, accompanied by expert commentary. The program will be divided into four regular sessions (May 12, 14–15, 19–20, and 26–27) and one special session (May 21–22).
