A quick snap while passing by. Hwarang Training Institute
I heard that about 40 years ago, I spent maybe 5 days here for some kind of training or workshop...
Mainly, high schools in the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions would select one student per class to send, and I was one of those selected.
Most of the time, they sent high-achieving students,
but some schools also sent troublemakers, hoping they would learn how to behave.
Even so, everyone had a good time with the training, playing around and exploring the cultural heritage sites in Gyeongju.
The dorm supervisors and instructors were all at the level of vice-principals or principals.
What I still remember even now is that "The Spirit of Hwarang" was the core essence of this training.
Boys and girls received training together; we took the train there and the train back, and I remember having a great time with the kids from Andong.
Well, that's just how it was.
Some people criticize it as being like a "Student Samchung Training Camp," but that wasn't actually the case.
I'm not sure how it was operated before that.
Tracing the footprints of the past is another kind of happiness.
Since entry to the interior is restricted to authorized personnel only, I'll just post a single shot of the main gate.
