Located in Gwangju City, Gyeonggi Province, the Korean Traditional House Village is a place where you can truly experience the timeless beauty and history of traditional Korean architecture.

Here, over 400-year-old hanok houses have been carefully relocated and restored.

Surrounding them are zelkova and pine trees that are said to be more than a thousand years old, creating breathtaking scenery that changes with each season.

Nestled at the foot of Namhansanseong Fortress, the village offers a variety of cultural experiences, from hanok stays and traditional tea experiences to relaxing moments at the on-site café. It’s the great place to immerse yourself in Korean culture for a day.

If you’re a fan of the Korean variety show <Running Man>, the village might look familiar since it was featured in Episode 663. Located just about an hour’s drive from central Seoul, it’s also a great destination for a short getaway.

As you stroll through the village, you’ll encounter scenes filled with hanok architecture, trees, flowers, and traditional ornaments, offering the feeling of stepping back in time.

Experience the charm of Korean heritage and the serene beauty of nature at Gwangju’s Korean Traditional House Village. 🌿
