Jeju's traditional education in Yongdam-dong
After several relocations, Jejuhyanggyo moved to its present site in 1827 as a place for education and rites. Start with the old buildings' exteriors, then explore what people learned and which ceremonies continued here.
The description introduces Daeseongjeon, Myeongnyundang and Gyeseongsa; Daeseongjeon is designated a Treasure. Reading building names helps distinguish ritual areas from learning spaces.
