We can see a beautiful pavilion when we go into Seha-dong on the left. It’s the Mangwi pavilion. Pine trees, cedar trees, maple trees and Korean pine trees add its lasting appeal even more.

Entering the gate, there is a tea house called “Jungnojisil” (a study room warm with the fragrance of tea). Looking out through the opened door to the back yard, you’ll see a jar which may touch off your homesickness. At the backyard, there are a mortar, a wooden pestle, a shovel, a gabion, a basket for carrying dirt and an A-carrier which are arranged tidily. The exhibition hall of ethnic supplies beside the gate gathers the valuable articles of daily use that were from the ancients, such as an inkstone, an ink-stick, a fur-lined hood, wooden shoes and a gayageum (a traditional Korean zither-like string instrument with twelve strings).
