More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The bus eases out of Seoul and the city’s hum thins to a quieter rhythm — rice paddies, low ridgelines, and roadside pines that seem to nudge the road along. In under two hours a visitor can step from modern Korea into two curated pasts: the reconstructed Joseon-era homes and living-history demonstrations at the Korean Folk Village, and the staged courtyards and palaces of Dae Jang Geum Park where period dramas staged their scenes.
