Jijihyang

The name ‘Jijihyang’ (지지향/紙之鄕), means the hometown of paper and it speaks of a special restful place with beautiful bookshelves wafted by the scent of old books.
In addition, it is connected to the Asia Publication Culture and Information Center, allowing you to use academic training facilities such as a conference room and multi-purpose hall, as well as the Forest of Wisdom, a public space for reading and culture.

The place for a true rest

The wooden interior allows you to feel the authenticity of the grain while the cotton bedding conveys the comfort of nature. Jijihyang provides good books not the TV that we habitually reach for, enabling us to enter the world of true contemplation and meditation.

Public Reading Space

The Munbal Salon, which provides 24-hour sleepless services, is an open reading & cultural space.
Staying up as a friend to embrace a sleepless night is also a unique experience that is only available at Jijihyang.

Paju Bookcity where books, people, culture and nature breathe in harmony

Paju Bookcity is Korea’s only national cultural industrial complex, designated by the government though led by the private sector, for the development of the publishing industry. It is a place where books, people, culture and nature harmonize.

Bookcity is a ‘purely private publishing cultural industrial complex’ established voluntarily by publishers. The first phase of the project (1997-2007) was carried out under the motto ‘City of Books’ and through the second phase of the project (2007-2018), ‘The construction of a city of books and movies’, the city has grown into the multi-cultural complex it is now.

Moreover, it is an eco-friendly cultural space that breathes with nature and is brim full of architectural beauty.

We trust you’ll make precious memories here, amidst the harmony of all the uniquely beautiful buildings of the various publishing houses, book companies, film companies, and performance halls, as well as its variety of cultural and experiential spaces such as bookstores, book cafes, galleries, and cultural complexes.
