The Baekje Heritage Journey — Gongju · Buyeo · Sejong, led on the ground.

A heritage journey through the two royal capitals of the ancient Korean kingdom of Baekje (BC 18 – AD 660) — Gongju (Ungjin) and Buyeo (Sabi) — extended along the relocation axis to Sejong. We do not file past artifacts; we read Baekje through the places themselves, guided by our own heritage team. HYEAN operates this signature journey directly.

  • Korea Heritage Service endorsed

    The Baekje Heritage Journey is endorsed by the Korea Heritage Service (국가유산청). HYEAN operates the official "Living National Heritage" (생생국가유산) program, and that heritage expertise is the core of this journey. Agreement names and years are recorded exactly as documented — no exaggeration.

  • UNESCO Baekje Historic Areas

    Centred on the UNESCO World Heritage Baekje Historic Areas (inscribed 2015), which cover Gongju and Buyeo. Sejong is included as the relocation-axis link city, not as an inscribed site.

The route

The Baekje Heritage Journey — three places, one kingdom read on the ground.

Two royal capitals plus the relocation axis, each read through the place itself rather than a museum case. Our own heritage team guides every stop.

Who it's for

Built for groups that want context, not a checklist.

  • University and school field-study groups
  • Institutional and corporate cultural retreats
  • Heritage-minded FITs and small groups
  • History-interested travelers from Greater China and Japan

Catering & dietary

Halal and dietary requirements, handled before departure.

Halal-certified restaurants in the Gongju–Buyeo area are limited, so halal groups are served through catering or bento alternatives confirmed before departure. Non-halal groups get a deeper dive into Baekje food culture and local ingredients.
