Korean Folk Village
Yongin, Gyeonggi
The Korean Folk Village in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, is an open-air living museum that vividly recreates the everyday life of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). The sprawling grounds feature authentic regional dwellings, government offices, and village schools arranged just as they would have been centuries ago, inviting visitors to stroll through a slice of old Korea. Daily cultural performances include nongak (farm music and dance), tightrope walking, and horseback martial arts that bring ancient traditions to life. Wearing hanbok and wandering the peaceful thatched-roof alleys is a beloved photo tradition for domestic and international tourists alike. Famous as a filming location for numerous historical dramas, the village exudes a quiet, cinematic charm that transports visitors back in time.
