It introduces 20 major historical travel destinations across the country, including Namsan National Humiliation Trail, Korean Provisional Government Memorial Hall, Independence Hall of Korea, and Seodaemun Prison History Museum.

The exhibition also guides visitors through special exhibitions taking place at memorial facilities nationwide around Liberation Day. Six programs are included, such as a poetry painting exhibition marking the 100th anniversary of the publication of Manhae Han Yong-un's "Silence of My Love," an exhibition commemorating the 150th anniversary of Baekbeom Kim Koo’s birth, and exhibitions related to the Korean Provisional Government.

These special exhibitions will be held at several venues, including the Daegu Modern History Museum, Manhae Memorial Hall, Jeju Educational Museum, Hanbat Educational Museum, Honam Patriots Memorial Hall, and Hwaseong Independence Movement Memorial Hall.

Information is also provided on how to participate in the “2026 Memorial Facility Stamp Tour—Remember Check-in,” conducted in collaboration with the Independence Hall of Korea. Visitors who collect stamps at 90 memorial facilities nationwide can receive commemorative gifts.

Lee Sunwoo, head of the Domestic Digital Marketing Team at the Korea Tourism Organization, said, "We hope that during the Liberation Day holiday, people will reflect on the meaning of liberation and experience the historical and cultural resources of various regions through historical travel destinations and related programs."
