  • It is a very traditional village that requires a lot of walking. Lot of nice view of old style architecture and many trees along the way but the weather is so hot when I visited. Got a few cats in the village too. You can also see some vegetables growing in the farmland. Along the way you can visit the Mucheomdang House, Daeseongheon House and the Songcheam Head House.
  • It's an amazing place to visit. I do recommend a little bit of research into the history before going so you can immerse yourself. I had the benefit of going with a tour group. A lot of detail came from the guide and this knowledge made everything way more interesting. It was thoroughly enjoyable.
  • The most tradicional village I've been in whole Korea! Such peaceful, remote place full of history! Wonderful to just pass a relaxed afternoon listening to the birds singing while walking around the village
  • It is a Korean traditional village. We took a for a walk around village for 3 hours. There was a very cozy place. We had also opportunity to get a historical story of there from histrical commentator. I think really good place worth visiting at least once.
  • Loved it here. Nicely maintained old houses that I felt so relaxed while walking around here. Also tried one of their restaurant at the entrance. It was authentic and the owner was so nice. Definitely going back.
