Overview

The House of Choi Champan is known as the setting of the famous novel "Toji" ("The Land") by noted novelist Park Kyongni. Located in a small folk literature village in Agyang-myeon, Pyeongsa-ri along the Seomjingang River at the foot of Jirisan Mountain, Choi Champandaek consists of fourteen hanok (traditional Korean house) buildings.<br>
<br>
Also used as the main set of the drama version of "Toji" (2004), Choi Champandaek gives visitors a look at the life of Korean people in the late Joseon era. The house has not only made its appearance in many films, but is also a valuable cultural asset of Hadong-gun.<br>
<br> The Daecheong Maru (wooden-floored hall) connected to the Sarangchae (men’s quarters in a hanok) offers a wide view of the vast field of Pyeongsa-ri and gives an opportunity to meditate and reflect while appreciating the beautiful surroundings. Located in the vicinity are numerous tourist attractions including the Pyeongsari Literature Center, Hwagae Market, and Ssanggyesa Temple.&nbsp;During fall season&nbsp;every year, Choi Champandaek hosts the Toji Literature Festival.
