'Dahyang Sochuk is a traditional Korean guesthouse with 70 years history located near the entrance to Dasan Chodang (Dasan Jeong Yakyong Historical Site) in Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do. The guesthouse is like a folk museum where guests get to see the items that Korean ancestors actually used. One of the advantages of staying at Dahyang Sochuk is that you can have all the green tea you want because there are wild green tea plants growing around the building. The areas around the guesthouses are decorated with unique bonsai trees and flowers all seasons for the guests to enjoy. All the rooms are coated with red clay and furnished with naturally dyed linens, both of which are healthy for the body while very smooth to the touch and aromatic. Right before winter, an array of potted chrysanthemums is placed along the entranceway, making you forget the cold weather for a moment. All in all, it’s a great place to stay and relax amid nature.

Dasan Chodang is the house where Jeong Yak-yong (pen-name Dasan, 1762-1836) lived during his exile. He was a scholar of the late Joseon dynasty and is noted for his great contributions to the development of practical learning in Korea. After he was expelled to Ganjin for writing a secret letter of appeal for religious freedom, which later was named ‘the Hwang Sa-yeong Baekseo’, he lived in the house for 18 years while studying practical learning (‘Silhak’ in Korean). Most of his famous books were written in Dasan Chodang. While walking along a road near Dasan Chodang, you can see the Cheonilgak pavilion, which offers a great view of beautiful Gangjin Bay. Not far from Dasan Chodang is the Dasan Museum, where visitors can learn about the life of Dasan.
