A conference tour to Cheongnamdae, the former presidential summer residence set amid the scenic beauty of Lake Daecheong — with a traditional Korean course lunch and an English-guided tour.
Set on the shores of Lake Daecheong in Cheongju, Chungbuk, Cheongnamdae served as the summer residence of South Korea's presidents from 1983 to 2003. Opened to the public in 2003, it is now beloved as one of the finest scenic spots on Lake Daecheong, with a presidential main hall, memorial halls, and beautifully kept gardens. Our tour covers the essential route — from a Korean course lunch, to the presidential main hall and memorial halls, up to the observatory reached by monorail.
A simple Korean lunch is provided before the tour.
Tour the main hall used as the summer residence of South Korea's presidents, accompanied by an English-speaking guide. Meet a chapter of modern Korean history in preserved spaces such as the reception room and study.
Visit two memorial halls in turn, exhibiting materials on South Korea's past presidents and the history of Cheongnamdae. See folding screens, ceramics, and other artifacts alongside the history of the estate's opening to the public.
After the tour, ride the monorail up to the observatory for a sweeping view of Lake Daecheong, or unwind at the gift shop and café.
