Geocache Description:

Cache case is Chocolate case. easily. :D

It’s odd that I haven’t posted on Jeongdok Public Library — Registered Cultural Property No. 2

Before becoming a public library in 1977, Jeongdok Library was Kyunggi High School, Korea’s top secondary school and the alma mater of many of Korea’s political and economic elites. It is also Korea’s oldest secondary school, having opened in 1900 based on an royal edict issued the previous year.

The library is a pleasant place to walk around, particularly in spring (when its cherry blossoms bloom) and fall (when its ginkgo trees turn color). It’s also home to three colonial era buildings: a red brick building (now the Seoul Education Museum) built in 1927, a concrete main hall built in 1938 and an old classroom (now a cafeteria) also built in 1938. Also on its campus is one of Seoul’s few remaining Joseon-era government buildings, the old Chongchinbu.
