Hyangdan

Hyangdan in Yangdong Village, Gyeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do, is a grand old house designated as a national treasure, having been built by King Jungjong for the elderly mother of his courtier Yi Eonjeok. Much of the original 99-kan house was destroyed during the Korean War and the rest converted to a guesthouse. Visitors can stay in the anchae, haengnangchae and an annexe - which all appear to be different x_heights because of the upward slope of the site. Various experience programs are offered: woodblock printing, a tea ceremony, natural dyeing, and traditional etiquette.
