A Winter Night at Cheongwadae Dyed with Starlight Like a Painting

'Cheongwadae Night Walk' Winter Event Held

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Cultural Heritage Foundation will hold the 'Cheongwadae Night Walk' winter event from the 6th to the 11th of next month. From 7 PM to 9 PM daily, various lighting will convey the winter night atmosphere of Cheongwadae.

Visitors enter through the main gate and tour the Grand Garden, Main Hall, Small Garden, Official Residence, Nokjiwon, and Sangchunjae. The highlight is the 'Healing Path' set up along the route between the Official Residence and Sangchunjae. The spaces between the trees embracing each other are illuminated with starlight lighting. The Sejong Room in the Main Hall, where the Cabinet meetings were held, is also recreated as it was before Cheongwadae was opened to the public and will be unveiled for the first time. A Ministry of Culture official said, "The visitor lounge established in Yeomin 1 Hall last September will also be open at night to help visitors escape the cold."

Admission tickets can be reserved for free starting from the 28th on the Cheongwadae Public Opening website. Each person can secure up to six tickets. On-site ticket sales will not be available. Admission closes at 8:30 PM, and up to 2,000 people can be accommodated per day.
