02nd November 2011
Today we are going out of
Seoul to Suwon – Korean Folk Village. We took the subway to Gangnam station and
then take the City Express bus to Korean Folk Village. The whole journey took
us about 1.5 hours.
Korean Folk Village – 한국 민속촌 Hanguk Minsokchon (韩国民俗村)
Set in a natural environment occupying approximately 243 acres, visitors to the
Korean Folk Village can experience the natural atmosphere with over 260
traditional houses reminiscent of the late Joseon Dynasty, including various
household goods from different regions. All these features have been relocated
and restored to provide visitors with a broad understanding of Korean food,
clothing, and housing style of the past.
