Chusa's story and etiquette in traditional spaces
Explain to children that a hyanggyo served as a school and ritual space. Connecting it with Chusa's exile shows Jeju as a place of living and learning before its role as a scenic destination.
Move slowly on uneven stone steps and around old buildings. Do not enter without permission even if interiors appear empty; respect ritual areas and photography conditions.
