This is another must visit when in Seoul, Korea. Why? Because it’s an open-air preserved Hanok village museum in a park that offers traditional Korean cultural experience and lots of leisure and creative programs. If you are into some hands-on and interactive activity, this is your place.
During our visit, I enjoyed mostly the people and characters in costumes, as well as the shows. The fact that the Hanok houses here offer free picture taking opportunities inclusive of the traditional costumes makes the whole park very colourful, you wonder if all these people walking around in traditional Korean costumes with camera helpers in tow are for real. Well, they are tourists having the fun of their life!
As for me, I did not avail of such spectacle as I was too lazy to put on any costume but did not fail of course to take pictures of those who did. Now that is so typical of me being a secret paparazzi =)
