Korean Folk Village: A Journey Back to the Joseon Dynasty
📍About
The Korean Folk Village is a vast outdoor park that accurately recreates a late Joseon period village. Real houses from across Korea were moved and restored here. It’s not just a museum; it’s a "living" village where actors play roles like beggars, magistrates, and scholars, interacting with visitors. It also features a small amusement park and a global folk museum.
