(Translated by Google) A place that has been transformed from a program called Hot Place to a cafe. Well done interior in a small space There are not many seats so circulation is slow. Signature menus are delicious There is limited parking space, so parking is possible in the alleys of nearby residential areas. Wouldn’t it be difficult on weekdays? (Original) 손대면 핫플이라는 프로에서 카페로 변신한곳 좁은 공간에 인테리어를 잘 해놓았다 좌석수가 많지않아 자리 순환이 더디지만 시그니쳐 메뉴들이 맛나다 주차공간이 적어 주변 주택가 골목에 가능한데 평일은 어렵지 않을까

(Translated by Google) I stopped by the ginkgo and maple trees I was passing by because they were so pretty. The chrysanthemums were arranged neatly, and it is said that prison officials donated them. If you're nearby, stop by. (Original) 지나치는 길에 은행나무와 단풍나무가 너무 예뻐서 방문했습니다. 국화꽃을 정갈하게 배치하셨는데 교도소 분들이 기증하셨다고 합니다. 근처에 계시면 들려보세요.

(Translated by Google) Park Gyeong-ni Literature Park in Dangu-dong, Wonju. It was a good and appropriate amount of time to take a look around the exhibition building and yard, which were built based on the site of the birthplace where he lived while writing the land. If you're nearby, be sure to stop by. (Original) 원주 단구동에 있는 박경리 문학공원. 토지를 집필하며 사셨던 생가 터를 기준으로 건립되어 있는 전시 건물, 마당 등 한바퀴 둘러보는데 시간도 적당하고 좋았어요. 근처 가시면 한번 꼭 들러보세요.

There is a gallary which illustrates the paper manufacturing process from handmaking to commercial process. There is also a event in which school going children can take part and learn about handmaking paper process. This is a recommended place for children. There are no entry fee into park.

At Wonju Hanji Theme Park, you can learn everything about hanji (traditional Korean paper) including its origin and history, through exhibitions, education and activity programs. The 1st floor of the theme park is the Hanji History Exhibition Hall, where you can get a glimpse of the past of hanji, such as how it was invented and spread, the history, origin and manufacturing process of hanji, and related artifacts. Visitors can imagine what the life of Korean ancestors was like and understand hanji better. Here also you can make your own hanji lamp with 15.000 Korean won, such a nice experience it was really
