Located in Jung-gu, Ulsan City and built and operated by Jung-gu Office, Eoryeondan Guesthouse was opened in August 2014 to offer guests an opportunity to enjoy a hanok stay and various traditional Korean experiences. The house was named ‘Eoryeondang,’ meaning a “house abounding with beautiful words,” after Eoryeoncheon Stream (previously Dongcheon Stream).’ This two-story hanok building was built with granite construction materials including the staircases, fence, and external pillars, creating a solid and majestic impression. Located next to the house is Sanjeonsaem Spring, which was found over 400 years ago and used to supply the house with drinking water, but it was transformed into a garden after the spring ran dry. Eoryeondang has seven guestrooms all together, including three rooms (26m2) equipped with a sink, another three rooms (26m2 each) without a sink, and one room (about 39㎡) equipped with a maru (wooden floor). In particular, the large room, Eoryeonjae, is recommended for family guests. Six of the rooms - Yi, Ho, Ye, Byeong, Hyeong and Gong - were named after administrative agencies of the Joseon Dynasty. Each room can accommodate from 4 to 6 people and is equipped with a bathroom, TV, air-conditioner, refrigerator, Wi-Fi, etc. Set amid an attractive natural environment including pine and bamboo trees, the house is characterized by its interesting ceilings, including the ‘井’-shaped ceiling on the first floor, and the exposed rafters on the second floor. The house is mainly built of pine wood, and each room is decorated with a traditional style of floor paper using beans and hanji (traditional Korean paper handmade from mulberry tree) wallpaper. The house is adjacent to various interesting sites including the Military Headquarters of Gyeongsangjwa-do Province (Historic Site No. 320), where the military governor of Gyeongsangjwa-do used to stay; an elliptical fortress built in 1417, with a circumference of 1.2km and walls about 3.7meters high; Oesol Memorial Hall, which is a Hangeul museum; and Dongcheon Water Park. It also offers guests the opportunity to play various folk games including yut (a Korean traditional board game), tuho (stick throwing), jegichagi (Korean shuttlecock game). The house makes continuous efforts to improve its services by surveying its guests and reflecting their opinions accordingly.
