Cheonnyeon Hanok Pension, located in Sirae-dong, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, was newly opened in April 2014. The owner discovered this geomantically ideal site, with a mountain to its rear and a river to its front, and constructed a 238m2 hanok on a 1,778m2 plot of land. The hanok is a ‘ㄱ’-shaped structure consisting of two floors above ground, with the guest accommodation situated on the first floor. The pension was named ‘Cheonnyeon Hanok’ to represent the owner’s wish that the house be preserved for over a thousand years (“cheon nyeon”). It is set amid a beautiful landscape and commands an open view of the nearby pine grove, a large pond, fields, and Tohamsan Mountain. The house is built of pine wood and red clay, and features an eco-friendly geothermal floor heating system and double-layered doors to keep out drafts. Although the outer yard is covered with gravel, the spacious grassy inner courtyard of the bonchae building is equipped with benches, and serves as both a playground for children and a relaxing space for adult guests. The garden is notable for its well-tended flowers and trees. The pension has 6 guestrooms including four single rooms (23m2); one room (29m2) with a numaru (upper floor) that can accommodate 3 to 5 people; and a two-room (46m2) suite that can accommodate 4 to 10 people. Maehwa-bang (single room) is characterized by rafters and a ‘井’-framed ceiling; Mogryeon-bang (two rooms) is a large guestroom that can accommodate two to three families, and has a sliding door in the middle for convenient use of the space; and Yeonggot-bang has an upper floor equipped with a BBQ facility. Large family groups tend to rent the Yeonggot-bang and an additional room. Other guests can also use the separate BBQ site in the courtyard. (Grill and charcoal: KRW 15,000 per 4 persons) Each room has a pleasant, clean interior and is equipped with a TV, fridge, air-conditioner, bathroom, sink, electric rice cooker, kettle, induction plaque, and Internet. The pension boasts a beautiful nighttime view of Joyang Reservoir, Tohamsan Mountain, and a pavilion of Bulguksa Temple. Guests can enjoy fishing in the reservoir and walking up the low mountain or strolling along the path through the pine grove. The pension also offers various folk games including Tuho (Arrow-throwing), Jegichagi (Korean shuttlecock game), Yunnori (traditional Korean board game) and kite-flying free of charge. In addition, it is close to a number of Gyeongju’s major tourist attractions including Seokguram Grotto and Bulguksa Temple, and is only 20 minutes’ drive from Gampo, Jusangjeolli Cliff, and the Royal Tomb of King Muyeol. Cheonnyeon Hanok Pension is particularly popular among families and groups.
