Did you know there’s a place for tourists to sleep inside Hapcheon Cine Theme Park, the most popular filming site in Korea? Even better, there are three places! Among buildings in the park, Taeseong Building, Korea Bank and Japanese Ryokan Building are used as accommodations for tourists, not filming sites. And at a reasonable price too! However, they are for big number of people like staff for a movie or a drama although individuals could make a reservation as well. The quality might be worse than hotels or motels but people find it funny to stay at a filming site. For those who do not know, I will introduce you how to use it!




This is Japanese Ryokan building called Punggyeong that was used as a filming site for a movie My Way. And that’s where I’m going to stay tonight.




As I enter the door, there are two Japanese-style buildings with a pretty garden between them. Left one is two-story building called Punggyeong where I stay, and the right one is one-story restaurant called Hyangwon. Those who stay at Punggyeong can have Japanese meal for 10,000 won per person at Hyangwon.




The rooms in Punggyeong are for groups of people, more than 6. So why did I book this room? I wasn’t meant to at first. I made a reservation at Hanok (Korean traditional house) pension but the owner apologized to me that he is going to close the pension by March next year for personal reasons. So I found an alternative one in Hapcheon Cine Theme Park called Theme House but they said they close the facility on Mondays, which is today. So I had no choice but to come here Punggyeong. As the rooms are for groups of people involved in movie/drama shooting, they are so big.




It had everything inside it. TV with Skylife satellite, and a hair drier inside the drawer. ^^*




Theme House is a youth hostel where you normally have to share the bathrooms and shower booths. But this one, thankfully, has its own bathroom and toilet. The facilities are not so fancy but not that uncomfortable for one night.




There’s no bidet in the bathroom. So if you HAVE TO use bidet, it would be a little uncomfortable.




As this room is for 6 people, you can find plenty of blankets and pillows in the closet. All of the facilities inside Hapcheon Cine Theme Park have ondolbang(room with the Korean floor heating system) with no beds but even if you can’t sleep on the floor, you can lay out a few blankets to make your own bed and sleep on it. Just like I did.




Everything is big here for a group of people. A pig would fit in this refrigerator.




I was looking for shampoo in the bathroom and I think I saw this somewhere.




This is called Sebiprox for seborrheic dermatitis. The owner knows that I have seborrheic dermatitis? Or some other guest left this before me? Anyways I took a shower and went to sleep.




Somehow it felt quite empty to sleep like that on four blankets. But the room was warm that I could have a pleasant night. The floor is made of ondol that it gets warm so quickly and it made the atmosphere quite dry. You’ve got to hang some wet towels in the room.




The the morning came. There’s sunlight over curtains of big windows and it was so quiet inside the park that I could enjoy our night. There was no shooting that night so I was the only ones staying in the building. And I was the only one in this big filming site.




I drew the curtains back and saw slowly flowing Huangang to the front. That is where extra dam waterfront eco trail is, where I’m about to take a walk soon.




When I was leering at the windows, I saw a filming site of train station next to Theme House pension. That’s when I realized I was in cine theme park.



Morning came here in the front yard of Punggyeong as well. Yesterday was gloomy with fine rains from time to time but today is just a fine day with no clouds in the sky. The sun is warm, which seems to be perfect weather for traveling.




Before breakfast, I walked along ‘extra dam waterfront eco trail’ right in front of cine theme park with a cup of coffee in one hand.




This eco trail is quite famous among photographers because of the beautiful view of nature and water surface. Water fog over Huanggang at dawn is amazing and dreamlike. It looks like wherever you take pictures, they would turn out to be art pieces.




Morning view over Huanggang is quite okay, huh? It would be okay to stay in a motel or hotel in Hapcheon but if you want something special, I suggest you to stay at Theme House, a youth hostel, or Punggyeong Pension inside Hapcheon Cine Theme Park. Especially, it would be good for those who should save up money since they could take a look around this Hapcheon Cine Theme Park for free if they make a researvation to stay here. In this case, you should not buy the ticket at the ticket office but you should go to the management office at the end of parking lot and use another entrance for guests only.
