I am self-confessed Korean Drama fanatic which is the reason why I started studying Korean Language and eventually came to Korea. The first time I visited Korea, one of the my to do list is visit Korean Folk Village. This place is very interesting and you can experience various Korean cultures such as traditional Korean wedding, Samulneori, and just strolling around the place will makes you feel you went back in time. Best time to visit Korean Folk Village is during Autumn so you can see the beautiful colors of foliage as you explore the village.

If you want a good taste of Korean culture, I would highly recommend a trip out to the Korean Folk Village. You will be able to not only see, but experience Korean history and culture. You can get snippets of everything from palace to the peasant life. There are a lot of great shows as well. While the farmer's dance is a must-see, you can also see other great things like performances of wedding rituals and acrobatics. Of course, there is also great food. You can see the giant kimchi pots and experience traditional Korean alcohols. And of course, for those of you like me who are suckers for markets, there is a beautiful market full of folk art and crafts.
Very colourful and traditional!
Cute and quaint. Not as big as the villages around Seoul but the site hosts many traditional activities that make the trip worth while. I would recommended looking up schedule to make sure u go when they have things going on.
