Archery, Kites, and Cultural Discovery

An Autumn Day of Arrows and Art

Our September outing combined physical challenge, playful movement, and cultural discovery.

Morning: archery at Yeonmudae

For many, holding a bow was a first-time challenge.

The key was simple: supportive coaching, patient repetition, and clear encouragement.

As early shots improved, people realized they were capable of more than they expected.

Midday: kite time

Kites changed the mood instantly. The field offered open space, wind, and easy conversation.

Food, rest, and storytelling kept the energy balanced.

Afternoon: public art and media

We moved into Jidong Mural Village to see how the neighborhood transformed itself through art.

That walk into visual creativity became a bridge to a media-art show that contrasted beautifully with our traditional start to the day.

Outcome

The day’s arc—from archery discipline to creative expression—mirrored the community spirit itself: rooted in tradition, open to experimentation, and always moving forward together.
