Korean Folk Village

Korean Folk Village



What is it?

The Korean Folk Village is a way for you to experience and learn about the culture during the late Joseon period. You can watch performances, go through cultural classes, go learn about the shaman faith, and view seasonal customs. Another thing to do is to just wander around the village looking at the buildings and how the workers interact with each other. You can also try traditional Korean food and drinks. If you want to learn more about the culture in the Joseon dynasty, this is a good place to come visit.
