Jinan Wonchon Village | 観光地情報 | K-Travel Mate

Wonchon Village is the representative signboard village of Baegun-myeon in Jinan. The name Baegun-myeon, meaning 'white cloud,' refers to a quaint rural village located on the high plateau of Mujinjang (Muju, Jinan, Jangsu counties). In 2007, Wonchon Village was developed under the project titled 'Art in City - Jinan Baegun-myeon Public Art Project,' hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and sponsored by the Korea Arts Council. This was planned by local residents and design experts to promote free communication without boundaries between urban and rural areas. Beautiful signboards brighten the village scenery, and paintings also decorate the village’s empty walls. Nearby are Jinan’s top scenic spots including Maisan Mountain, Baegun Valley, Yongdam Lake, and Demisaem, the source of the Seomjin River, making it a living, pristine rural village on the Jinan plateau.
