Korean Folk Village is an expansive open-air museum that brings the Joseon Dynasty to life through over 260 reconstructed traditional houses, including peasant homes, a nobleman's house, and a marketplace. Visitors can watch artisans craft pottery, weave textiles, and make traditional paper, while daily performances feature folk dances, tightrope walking, and a reenacted wedding ceremony. The village offers an immersive experience of Korea's agrarian past, with opportunities to try on hanbok and sample traditional foods.
