the Seosu-seowon, Korea's first private Neo-Confucian Academy-with-Shrine, in Punggi Town. It was
founded by Toegye Yi Hwang in the mid-1500s, while he was Governor of Yeongju County, to honor
An Hyang, who first brought the Neo-Confucian teachings of Chu Hsi from China in the mid-1300s.
It's quite a charming and interesting place, sited next to a lovely stream just south of Sobaek-san.
