Korean Folk Village

There are many folk villages in South Korea but the ones deep in the rural sections of the country are more authentic and take you closer to real South Korean culture. However the most popular is the Korean Folk Village as it is closest to capital city Seoul. It was opened in the year 1974 with the aim to attract more and more international tourists and give them insight into the culture of South Korea. There are regular dance and music performances, acrobatic performances which enchant the onlookers. Also visit the many shops dedicated to different items, where you can do shopping and also see the craftsmen on work. There is probably no better place to witness the lifestyle of South Koreans.
