Gaepyeong Hanok Village (개평한옥마을)

Explanation

Gaepyeong Hanok Village is where more than 60 large and small hanok (traditional Korean house) buildings with over 100 years of history are located within a traditional atmosphere. The village was named Gaepyeong using the letter gae (meaning “stuck between") as it is situated between Deokgaecheon Stream and Silgaecheon Stream. Visitors can observe the typical form of Gyeongsang region's yangban (aristocrat) house in this village, known as the hometown of scholars and writers since ancient times. The historical House of Ildu, which stands out first when entering Jigok-myeon where Gaepyeong Hanok Village is located, was also used as a filming location for dramas such as "Mr. Sunshine (2018)" and "Toji, the Land (2004)." The scenery of the stone walls, in harmony with the antique hanok, offers a calming sensation. In addition, visitors can participate in various experience programs, such as pressed flower craft, dasik (tea confectionery) making, and walking on trails held throughout the village, as well as gochujang (red chili paste) making at Roh's Old House of Gaepyeong-ri, which has the oldest anchae (women’s quarters) in the village.
