Wonju Hanji Theme Park presents the history and making of traditional Korean paper and offers paper-making and craft activities. It helps explain an industry once spread across several parts of Wonju, but it is not itself an old factory district. Hours, paid exhibitions and programme reservations can change and should be checked with the operator.
How to read the site
Dates and figures in this article are reference points for comparing periods, not decorations meant to exaggerate the place. At the site, distinguish old fabric, reconstructed elements and spaces that still serve everyday life. That separation makes Wonju’s changes easier to read without turning the whole city into a single neat story.
Before you visit
Do not assume that one stop represents all of Wonju. Use can differ on weekdays, weekends, market days and closure days, while exhibitions, activities and individual businesses may change. Check the operator’s latest notice before leaving, then compare the historical account with what is actually accessible.
