Changwon Special City to Host "Moonlight Night Walk" at Jinhaehyeon Government Office in Jindong-myeon

A Nighttime Journey Through Local Heritage
Rediscovering the Value of Jinhaehyeon’s Historic Government Office
Hands-on Experiences and Performances Illuminate the Past

Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam will host the "Moonlight Night Walk at the Government Office" at 5 p.m. on August 29 at the site of the former Jinhaehyeon Government Office and Guesthouse, organized by the Changwon Korean Traditional Orchestra.

This event is part of the detailed program for "Lively Journey Along the Bronze Road," a project selected by the National Heritage Administration. The event aims not only to preserve cultural heritage but also to rediscover its value and significance, providing a space for citizens to directly enjoy historical and cultural education. It is also intended to develop into a leading regional tourism program.

The former Jinhaehyeon Government Office and Guesthouse site, designated as a cultural heritage of Gyeongsangnam-do, is located in Jindong-myeon, Masanhappo-gu. It was an administrative office during the Joseon Dynasty, and serves as a reminder that the original Jinhae (now Jindong-myeon) disappeared when present-day Jinhae was established during the Japanese colonial period.

The event will feature a creative musical titled "Lee Jema Embracing the Sun," focusing on Lee Jema, the magistrate of Jinhaehyeon and founder of Sasang medicine. Visitors can also participate in various hands-on activities, including making herbal remedies, sampling traditional herbal tea, experiencing traditional musical instruments, and creating handkerchiefs inspired by Bronze Age artifacts.

Yang Junho, Director of the Cultural Heritage Promotion Division, stated, "I hope this event will provide an opportunity for families and friends to momentarily forget the hot summer nights and deeply understand and enjoy our local cultural heritage together."

Meanwhile, detailed information about the event and registration can be found through the Changwon Korean Traditional Orchestra or on their website.
