Iksan-si is promoting photo spots at the World Heritage Baekje Royal Palace (Wanggung-ri Ruins) to help visitors more deeply experience the beauty of this historical and cultural heritage site.
The Iksan-si Wangdo History Museum announced on the 25th that it has selected and is introducing a total of 10 photo spots, focusing on locations where visitors tend to linger: five at the Baekje Royal Palace Museum and five at the Wanggung-ri Ruins.
From the Sky Garden on the third floor of the Baekje Royal Palace Museum, visitors can take in a panoramic view of Mireuksan Mountain and the palace site, while the Baekje Garden, recreated with digital technology, offers special scenes against the backdrop of changing seasons.
In addition, the natural scenery framed by the window of the “Royal Palace Library,” the experience space featuring the royal throne of King Mu of Baekje, and the storytelling space about Seodong and Seonhwa presented with hanji dolls are also gaining popularity among visitors.
At the Wanggung-ri Ruins, the “Cultural Heritage Night Tour Frame” photo zone allows visitors to capture a landscape where the palace pagoda, pine trees, and sky come together in harmony.
Along with this, scenes that are drawing visitors’ attention include: the view of the palace pagoda and pine trees together; the pagoda seen between two pine trees; the “Tree of Life (Love)” with the Five-story Stone Pagoda; and the “Embraced by the Palace” photo spot, where the entire palace site can be captured.
Iksan-si expects that, by designating these 10 photo spots, visitors will go beyond simply looking around the ruins and instead record their experiences and create memories, helping to spread an experiential viewing culture. The city also anticipates that the scenery, which changes with the seasons and weather, will serve as a factor encouraging repeat visits.
An Iksan-si official said, “The Baekje Royal Palace Museum and the Wanggung-ri Ruins are spaces where the value of history and culture is alive and breathing,” adding, “We hope that by widely promoting the photo spots loved by visitors, this area will firmly establish itself as a more familiar and attractive travel destination.”
