Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

You step off the coach into a street that feels staged for royalty: timbered gates, tiled roofs, and flagstones that have hosted palace processions on camera more than once. The air carries the low murmur of other visitors and, if you’re lucky, the hush of a live shoot somewhere behind a screened courtyard.

History

The park was built by MBC as a permanent outdoor filming set to recreate period architecture for historical dramas and has hosted productions since the late 1990s.

Conservation

The site is maintained for filming and visitors—follow signage, avoid touching fragile set pieces, and pack out any trash to preserve the surfaces and props.

Adventure tips

Respect filming zonesKeep voices low and follow guide directions—areas may be closed during live shoots to avoid disrupting production.

Comfortable footwearWear supportive shoes for uneven flagstone and compacted dirt paths; some sets include steps and narrow passages.

Morning light advantageBook morning departures for softer light and smaller crowds, especially on weekends and holidays.

Bring local currencySmall vendors and specialty photo booths may accept only cash for costumes or souvenirs—carry some KRW.

Recommended gear

Comfortable walking shoes: Support and traction for flagstones, steps, and compacted dirt paths around the sets.
Light rain jacket: Spring showers are common; a packable waterproof keeps you comfortable without bulk.
Sun protection (hat & sunscreen): Open courtyards offer little shade—protect skin during midday visits.
Compact camera or phone with extra battery: Sets are photo-friendly but battery drains fast if you shoot a lot or use navigation apps.
