If you're looking to delve into Korean history and culture, head to Okgu, Jeonbuk with its fascinating blend of historical sites like the Okgu Hyanggyo, an old Korean Confucian school. This area is rich in history, overshadowed by the modern city of Gunsan, which rose to prominence during the Japanese occupation. At Okgu Hyanggyo, you'll find not only a Confucian space but also a shrine dedicated to Dangun (the mythical founder of Korea) and a section honoring Choi Chi-won, a famous scholar from the Silla era. These sites illustrate Korea's diverse historical and cultural layers. The location also boasts an impressive 600-year-old hackberry tree, serving as a symbol of resilience and local heritage.
