Lonely Planet review

Five differing yangban (aristocratic) stone, wood and tile houses from the Joseon era have been moved here from different parts of Seoul. The architecture and furniture are austere and plain, and conjure up the lost world of Confucian gentlemen scholars who wielded calligraphy brushes rather than swords.

Weavers, calligraphers and kite-makers can be spotted at the weekend and the occasional festival livens the place up. One hanok has become the Dasahon Restaurant serving good food and traditional liquor in a yesteryear atmosphere. A pleasant park and Time Capsule Sq adjoin the village.
