Had the privilege to cost the Korean Folks Village and witness how the Joseon live during their dynasty. They are simply amazing and amusing. Truly blessed to understand how they live and the older days. The Korean Folk Village located on a large 245 acres of land with backdrop of mountains and a river running through it. Korean Folk Village introduces traditional culture from the late Joseon period to both local and international visitors through cultural classes experience, shaman faith, seasonal customs and others. The Korean Folk Village has been a popular film site for many well-known historical dramas including My Love from the Star (2013), Moon Embracing the Sun (2012), Dong Yi (2010), Sungkyunkwan Scandal (2010), The Great Queen Seondeok (2009) and of course, the hugely popular Dae Jang Geum (2003).

Very lucky to have been able to visit the DMZ on a trip to South Korea. Would probably say this is an absolute must see thing to do when visiting Korea. Managed to do a full day tour, an eerie experience and can still see the tension. Coming here helps you understand a lot about the history though.

If you have interest about Korean history mainly Jeoson Dynasty this place must be first location that you should visit in Korea. In Yeongnyeongneung you can see royal tomb cluster of the Joseon Dynasty. Mainly the great King of Korean history and creator of the Korean alphabet (Hangul 한글) (1443) King Sejong's tomb make an extraordinary aura around you. He is sleeping in peace with his Queen Soheon. When you think about it suddenly you feel the grandeur of Korean history. Moreover the place is located top of the hill and surrounding with deeples green forest. So you can sit under a tree and enjoy the serenity of nature. This autumn I got a chance to visit the place with the help of Funday Korea Network's event that had been organized for foreigners in Korea. Besides visting place we got chance to listen traditional music and making traditional accessories of Korea. I would like to visit that place in next spring again^^ . . . . . #kocis #koreancultureandinformationservice #fundaykoreanetworks #fundaykorea #kunesco #unescoheritage
