[Travel] Korean Folk Village
Korean Folk Village, dubbed as the ‘Traditional Cultural Theme Park’, is one of the most popular attractions in Seoul. Occupying approximately 243 acres, visitors can experience the atmosphere back then during the Joseon Dynasty, including various household goods from different regions. Besides that, visitors can also enjoy various food, scheduled musical performances and traditional ceremonies, all representing the different eras in Korean history.
On our 7th day of Korea Joa project, we had a chance to visit this famous tourist attraction, not only for foreigners, but also for school trips alike. Korean Folk Village is one of the must-visit spots for Korean drama fans. Many hit dramas were filmed here, such as ‘My Love From the Star’, ‘Moon Embracing the Sun’, ‘Arang and the Magistrate’, ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’, ‘Jewel in the Palace’, and many more.
