Korean Folk Village
한국민속촌
An open-air folk museum of the Joseon era in Yongin City, with hundreds of reconstructed traditional houses and daily performances of horseback archery and tightrope walking.
The Korean Folk Village opened in 1974. It has relocated or reconstructed more than 270 traditional buildings from across the country, including farmhouses, scholars' residences, government offices and markets. Staff dressed as Joseon-era characters interact with visitors. Performances of farmers' dance (nongak), horseback martial arts and tightrope walking are held on schedule every day. It has also been a filming location for period dramas such as Sungkyunkwan Scandal. The park also has an amusement area. Admission is about 30,000 won, and it is open roughly 9:30 to 18:30. From Suwon Station, take a bus for about 40 minutes.
