About

It is a tranquil park that honors the life and literary spirit of Heo Gyun and Heo Nanseolheon, the representative sibling writers of the Joseon Dynasty. Centered around the Historic Birthplace where Heo Gyun, who wrote the first Korean novel "Story of Hong Gildong", and Heo Nanseolheon, who was recognized as a genius poet, were born and raised, it features a memorial hall, traditional tea experience hall, and more. You can trace the literary footsteps of the two figures while strolling along the dense pine forest path.

It is close to Gyeongpo Lake and Chodang Sundubu Village, making it good to explore together, and it is a meaningful space where you can deeply feel the history and culture of Gangneung.
