Choe Chiwon Museum, Korean historical museum in Chengbei, China.

Choe Chiwon Museum is dedicated to a Korean scholar and poet who was important during the Tang period. The exhibition displays artifacts, sculptures, and text panels that document his life and literary work.

The figure the museum honors lived in the ninth century and first served a Chinese kingdom before returning to his Korean homeland. His career as a scholar in both lands made him a bridge between cultures.

The collection showcases works by poets and scholars who moved between Korea and China. You can observe how writing and ideas flowed between these two regions during that era.

The museum offers guided tours and educational programs to help visitors understand the connections between the regions. Plan time to read the text panels, as much of the information is presented through written explanations.

The white marble statue of Choe Chiwon in the memorial hall was donated by a committee in Busan, South Korea, dedicated to his memory. Three large wall murals behind it trace his route: Gyeongju, his homeland; Chang'an, where he studied; and Yangzhou, where he served.
