This initiative aims to help citizens and tourists enjoy the historical and cultural site of Yangjuguanaji in a more approachable way by providing a variety of activities every weekend, such as traditional cultural experiences, historical commentary, and family participation programs. Building on last year’s achievements, the city plans to further expand the range of programs and experience content this year.

In May, a range of programs will be held, including "The Yangju Governor’s Teahouse," "A Walk Around Yangjuguanaji Together," and "Let’s Play at Yangjuguanaji." "A Walk Around Yangjuguanaji Together" is a unique program where parents and children experience the history of Yangjuguanaji in separate spaces and is operated on a reservation basis. Parents can participate in a traditional Korean tea confectionery making activity inside Naea, while children explore the area around Yangjuguanaji, completing various missions such as archery and mask-making. The program is designed so that both parents and children can enjoy activities relevant to their interests.

In addition, there will be permanent experience zones within Yangjuguanaji. At the Yangju City Visitor Center, visitors can participate in activities such as building the Yangju Daemosanseong Fortress, artifact restoration experiences, virtual reality experiences, and Korean traditional costume (hanbok) rental programs. Inside Naea, visitors can enjoy "Naea Playground," an indoor space for traditional games. Also, next to the Songdeok Monument group, various other experience programs, including the "Hyeongok Zone Experience," will be available.

A Yangju City official stated, "With the launch of the 2026 Yangjuguanaji Revitalization Program, we have prepared a variety of programs so that citizens and tourists can enjoy our historical and cultural heritage in their daily lives," adding, "We will continue to operate diverse content tailored to each season and occasion going forward."
