I'm adding my thought and impressions in English from Joungmin's postings,
so that Claudia and Yuk can be updated as well.

Inwangjesaekdo was drawn by Jeong Seon during the reign of Joseon Dynasty King Yeongjo in 1751, when he was 76 years old. Jeong Seon was famous for ignoring the latest trends in Chinese styles and developing unique themes based on Korean landscapes. This is well-known as one of his masterpieces.
Jeong Seon lived during the later years of his life at the opposite site of Mt. Inwang. This scene depicts the mountain after a rain on a summer day when the fog began to thicken in the valley below. The depiction of the mountain is lifelike.

A house in the picture is his best friend, Yi ByeongYeon's. After his death, Jeong Seon really missed their friendship. So, he must have retrospected on the memory through his picture. How lovely! _ Joungmin



Boan Yeogwan-the name means literally security motel where we first met and stopped to check out the show "disappearing landscapes". i think the name of the street is Huigyungdong which means literally dispersing. this must be the reason where the title of the show came from.


















We enjoyed Tongin Market that serve this stir fried in soy sauce and chille, old-fashioned version of Rice cake-Ddoekbokki. and started walk off to behind market area to explore the neighborhood of Okingdong.



























Here you can find Insam(jinseng), and various selection of noodles.

Joungmin brought this book about Gyeomjae Jeong Seon's paintings as a reference to share with us. He is known for his painting and style called True view of landscape as well as his famous Inwangsan painting called Inwangjesaekdo (Clearing After Rain in Mt.Inwangsan or After Rain at Mt. Inwang)!!.














The lady we met on our way to mountain. she was gossiping about who and what kind of residents lived here and  how much  compensation were given to residents and how they made deal with Gu office etc. she was stereotypical Ajumma with  a big mouth but pretty reosonable in her own way towards regeneration and compensation i think. i even have recorded her talk (without asking her) but not sure whether it should be "Off record" or not?! well as it is not the off record anymore. thought?














Checking out 기린교(麒麟橋), Kiringyo- the name literally means brigde of Giraffe?..(it might have different meaning tho. Joungmin Help! find out from your book) more about Kiringyo:

Our guess may be right! :) I can't find any explanation about the name exactly. But Kirin麒麟 means giraffe in Chinese. 'Cause the bridge was made of long narrow stones also, I suppose it's correct.
