In 1702, Yi Hyeon Sang became a pastor on Cheju Island.
In the autumn of that year, he set out on a pilgrimage to the villages of the island, a journey that lasted 21 days, accompanied by an artist who recorded the main scenes in pictures.
A collection of 41 paintings that vividly depict Jeju in the 18th century. The Tamna Junryeodo is the only collection of paintings that records the tours of local officials during the Joseon Dynasty. Jeju is a volcanic island famous for its beautiful scenery since ancient times.
After assuming his post, Jeju Reverend Lee Hyun-sang made pilgrimages and explored the major scenic spots, which are vividly and meticulously depicted in the "Tamna Tour."
The beautiful Cheonjiyeon and Jeongbang Waterfalls that we see today were built by Yi Hyeon, who visited Jeju in 1702.
It seems that the scenery also reminded Pastor San of the appearance of a god. In 1702, a shooting contest was held across the waterfall at Cheonjiyeon Falls, and people carried torches into the lava cave at Gimnyeong Sageul, where a snake legend remains.
The unexplored region was burned into my memory. The scene of that day is still beautiful even after more than 300 years. We follow presenter Jang Hyuk to get a new look at the unexplored region of Jeju.
The vivid landscapes and stories of Jeju in 1702 will be shown in the documentary insight "National Heritage Pilgrimage Part 2 - The Tamna Pilgrimage of That Day in 1702" at 10 p.m. on the 31st in Korea.
It will be broadcast on BS 1TV (exclusive to some regions).
