Ganggyeong National Heritage Night Tour

The Ganggyeong National Heritage Night Tour aims to move beyond traditional preservation and actively utilize historical and cultural resources to spread public value. By building a network that connects scattered modern historical resources in the Ganggyeong area, it encourages visitors to experience the entire region as one massive historical and cultural space. The event features 30 detailed programs under 8 themes: Night Scenery (Yagyeong), Night Road (Yaro), Night History (Yasa), Night Painting (Yahwa), Night Performance (Yaseol), Night Food (Yaksik), Night Market (Yasi), and Night Stay (Yasuk). First, Night Scenery and Night Road enhance physical and psychological accessibility to historical resources by decorating the night landscape of Ganggyeong Modern History and Culture Street with landscape lighting and media art. Visitors naturally immerse themselves in historical spaces while walking the night paths. Night History, Night Painting, and Night Performance reinterpret Ganggyeong's historical narratives and the value of modern heritage through modern performances, exhibitions, and experiences. By delivering the value of national heritage, which can feel difficult, through intuitive and interesting content, it secures historical popularity and spreads its value. Finally, Night Food, Night Market, and Night Stay are operated based on collaboration with local commercial districts and residents. By linking Ganggyeong's local specialties, food, and local shops, it extends visitor stay times and completes a virtuous cycle where the networking of scattered historical resources leads to local economic revitalization. Consequently, the 8 themes and 30 programs are expected to breathe modern vitality into Ganggyeong's national heritage, which had remained in the past, and serve as a core driver in providing visitors with a differentiated night cultural heritage experience.
