Details

Wondang Stallion Ranch

Wondang Ranch became widely known to the public as it was often used as a filming location for popular dramas. There are many dangerous facilities, so the open area is restricted, and inside, rather than special things to see, you can enjoy the idyllic scenery of horses grazing while taking a walk. However, it is important to keep in mind that Wondang Ranch itself was not built for 'tourism' purposes, so parking facilities, restrooms, benches, etc. are lacking.\n

Gyeonggi English Village Paju Camp

All facilities and educational programs encourage active participation of students, allowing natural experiential learning of English in everyday life. By experiencing various cultures around the world in an environment similar to a village in an English-speaking country, students learn global citizenship and learn that English is a means for communication, not a purpose. With friendly and detailed guidance from native-speaking teachers, we instill interest in English and confidence in conversation with foreigners, so that students can enjoy learning after leaving school. \n
