Korean Folk Village



Entrance to the Folk Village

My boss brought me to Korean Folk Village on my 4th day in South Korea. Located in Yong-In City, it is a 243 acres expanse that has 260 traditional houses from the different regions of South Korea. The village also has museums, sculpture garden, bazaar that sells traditional Korean food and live performances can be viewed around the village.

The Equestrian Feats

Shown daily, 1PM & 2:30PM at the Performing Arena

There are a lot of wonderful things to see at the Folk Village so going there one must wear shoes for walking. 243 acres is a big area and I get to tour maybe only 70%, prepare to spend 3-4 hours at the village. 

Entrance cost 15,000Won per person, around P600 in Philippine Peso. Credit cards are accepted.
