@hirue, what an incredible post about the Tongyeong Hansan Battle Festival! As a curator with a keen interest in historical celebrations and cultural preservation, I'm genuinely impressed by the scale and depth of this event. The recreation of the Samdo Navy Headquarters procession and naval review, not to mention the reenactment of the Hansan Naval Battle, sounds absolutely breathtaking!
The blend of traditional Tongyeong culture with modern attractions, like the EDM party, is a fantastic way to engage all generations. And the "Turtle Ship Rowing Competition"? Genius! This isn't just a festival; it's a vibrant, living history lesson.
I'm particularly excited about the academic conference on the first naval base in Hansan Island and the youth musical about the Battle of Hansan. Highlighting educational opportunities through this festival helps solidify the significance of the event for years to come. I can't wait to see the festival come to life! Have you attended in the past?
