UNESCO site , people live here but can walk round the village and the outer part of the houses to appreciate how life would have been up to 100 years ago

Had well preserved traditional black and white tiled roof houses, but after seeing the 10th house among 150+ houses, boredom set in. Quite a walk under the hot sun to see house after house scattered..... more

It is a very traditional village that requires a lot of walking. Lot of nice view of old style architecture and many trees along the way but the weather is so hot when I visited. Got a few cats in the village too. You can also see some vegetables growing in the farmland. Along the way you can visit the Mucheomdang House, Daeseongheon House and the Songcheam Head House.

It's an amazing place to visit. I do recommend a little bit of research into the history before going so you can immerse yourself. I had the benefit of going with a tour group. A lot of detail came from the guide and this knowledge made everything way more interesting. It was thoroughly enjoyable.
