책마을해리

Chaek Maeul Haeri (Book Village Haeri) is a Korean rural book village in Jeollanam-do, designed as a slow-travel destination organized around books, reading, and rural life. The village has multiple small bookshops, reading cafes, accommodations with curated book collections, and a year-round program of literary events, author talks, and writing workshops. The format draws inspiration from Hay-on-Wye in Wales — a 'book town' as a complete rural-tourism category. For travelers serious about books as a travel anchor, Chaek Maeul Haeri is one of the most distinctive single Korean destinations, and a refreshingly slow-paced alternative to standard sightseeing.
