In celebration of the "Korea-China Year of Travel" that runs between 2015 and 2016, the Jeju National Museum teamed up with a provincial museum in Zhejiang, China, to host an exhibition about Joseon government official Choe Bu (1454-1504).

While serving as a government official on Jeju Island, Choe Bu heard news that his father had died. He boarded a boat to hurry back home as soon as possible, along with 42 subordinates. On the way to his hometown of Naju, they came across strong winds and waves, and ended up drifting and lost at sea. They narrowly managed to survive, arriving at a port in Zhejiang Province, China. Once they set foot on land, however, they were mistaken for Japanese pirates. However, with his identity eventually proven as a Joseon government official, he was able to return home via Hangzhou and Beijing. Then, 148 days after his departure from Jeju Island, he returned to Joseon.

The exhibition brings together some 150 Joseon artifacts including Choe's travelogue along with 101 Ming relics, giving visitors a chance to imagine the lifestyle and the relationship between Joseon and Ming in the 15th century.
