    DAY-OF PLAN

    Know the sequence before you go.

    Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
    1. 01
      Use the Sauijae street address

      The reconstructed quarter stands at the site associated with Jeong Yak-yong's first Gangjin lodging; use 27 Sauijae-gil rather than a broad downtown market search.

    2. 02
      Visit the heritage setting

      The current record lists year-round opening, but individual rooms, food service, interpretation and event spaces can keep narrower clocks.

    3. 03
      Confirm the operator separately

      Dongmun Maebanga, hanok experiences, performances and food are not guaranteed merely because the outdoor complex is open.

    3. Visit flow

    1. 01
      Before the central-Gangjin stop

      Use the Sauijae street address

      The reconstructed quarter stands at the site associated with Jeong Yak-yong's first Gangjin lodging; use 27 Sauijae-gil rather than a broad downtown market search.

    2. 02
      Within 9:00 AM–6:00 PM

      Visit the heritage setting

      The current record lists year-round opening, but individual rooms, food service, interpretation and event spaces can keep narrower clocks.

    3. 03
      Before a meal, stay or programme

      Confirm the operator separately

      Dongmun Maebanga, hanok experiences, performances and food are not guaranteed merely because the outdoor complex is open.

    4. Traveler tips

    • Confirm a named meal, room or activity before travelling if the heritage buildings alone are not the purpose.
    • Keep doorways and courtyards clear and ask before photographing guests or active programme participants.
    • Pair Sauijae with Yeongrang Birthplace on foot or by a short local transfer only after checking each closing time.
    • Search “전남광주통합특별시 강진군 강진읍 사의재길 27 사의재저잣거리” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
    • Hours, admission, closures and programme schedules can change; use the official source before departure.
    • The audited coordinate identifies the named destination, but the final gate, parking area and step-free entrance still need a live route check.
