Byulgung is a hanok pension complex facing the sea at the northeastern edge of the Taean Peninsula in Chungcheongnam-do. The long row of tiled roofs of the hanok house that has 12 guest rooms looks like a royal palace or a filming site of Korean dramas. Byulgung is a traditional hanok built in the old way by building frames such as rafters, pillars, girders, beams, and floors, and then making walls, roofs, and floors inside the house with a mixture of red clay and straw. Lying on the ondol room would make you feel like you are traveling back in time to the Joseon dynasty.
