Korean Folk Village (한국민속촌)

The Korean Folk Village (KFV) is an excellent place to visit if you want to learn more about the way traditional peasants, farmers and civil officials live throughout the country. There are also examples of a brewery, a Confucian school, a Buddhist temple and a market place, as well as various artisans' workshops. The Korean Folk Village is a real village and the people you'll see working there, actually live there. Every day regular dance performances and parades are held.

The Korean Folk Village was opened in 1974. Some 260 real traditional houses from all over South korea were dismantled and restored at the site of the KFV, to recreate a village from the late Joseon period.

The Korean Folk Village is 65 km southeast of Seoul. Buses ply the route every 20 minutes.
