Overview

Yeongnam-daero, was the most important artery from Busan to Seoul during the Joseon Dynasty period.

Along the Yeongnam-daero was the Jungnyeong Yetgil Road, which sat halfway between the two cities. It was often considered the most difficult part of the journey, and it often serves as a backdrop to countless people who took the trip to and from Seoul, including scholars who wished to return home after passing the state official’s exam and merchants who went to sell goods in the capital city.
