Yes, we are at the site of the Chojeong Yaksu Festival.

[Anchor] This is where King Sejong lived again, right?

[Reporter]
That's right.

I am at Chojeong Haenggung Palace, which recreates the place where King Sejong stayed.

A little while ago, there was also an event where you can see King Sejong's appearance at the time he came here.

In the Haenggung Palace, there is a place where you can experience traditional games and try on Hanbok.

Visitors to this place continue to visit in the cool autumn weather.

The King Sejong and Chojeong Yaksu Festival tells the story of King Sejong's two visits in the spring and fall of 1444.

It is recorded that he stayed here for 121 days and treated diabetes and conjunctivitis using clean ultra-purified mineral water.

In addition, various policies were implemented at the Chojeong Haenggung Palace, including the creation of Hunminjeongeum.

The guest mineral water is a natural rock half-water that has not dried up for more than 600 years and is also one of the world's top three mineral waters.
