Folk village

The first and the biggest in Korea folk village.

There are over 260 buildings in the village, among which you con find dwellings of members of different social layers of Korea, state institutions, drug stores, artisans' houses etc. It is not just a 'still' exposition: during the day you can enjoy perfomances of fok dance and music, an authentic marriage ceremony, show and concerts.

You can expericence the authentic atmoshpere of the late Chosun dynasty in the folk village; different parts of Korea are represented by their corresponding dwellings: from stone-walled houses of the Jeju Island to the Confusian acedemy, from village market place to the provincial official house.

It is a place to relax and ejnoy youself - geniually, the village looks more like a vast park, where in the midst of summer you can always find a shelter from the sun, in the midst of winter, you can warm yourself with a dance and music...

Traditional Korean bath house

Pulgama means literaly 'fire kiln'. It is stoked for 6 to 20 hous, let it stand idle for some time, and then use, as it gets less hot, as 'super hot pulgama', 'hot pulgama', 'not so hot pulgama'. The pulgamas in Korea are mixed, for both men and women, the clients sit together in them in special garments resembling pajamas and called jimjilbok.

In modern pulgamas you will find not only the traditional kilns, but also some modern facilities, such as shower rooms, separate saunas

for men and women, canteens etc.
