Tourist guide

It takes about 3 hours to drive from Seoul. It is located at Auraji River. There are learning rooms and material rooms on the first floor and Jeongseon Arirang performane stage and image facilities on the second floor. In the late Goryeo dynasty, loyal subjects of Gorye dynasty moved to Jeongseon and wrote poems in chinese character about thier loyalty for the king and the missing for their hometown. Classical scholars translated these poems for those who didn't understand chinese character. These translated poems mixed with folk songs became Jeongseon Arirnag. This is the place for studying Jeongseon Arirnag.
