Yangdong Folk Village경주 양동마을

At a glance

Yangdong grew up as the home of two clans, the Wolseong Son and the Yeogang Yi, and KTO calls it Korea's largest clan village. The whole village is a designated National Folklore Cultural Heritage, and its 54 houses over two centuries old show how gentry homes evolved from the mid-Joseon period on. With Hahoe in Andong, it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2010 as one of the Historic Villages of Korea. People still live here, so most houses are private homes as well as heritage.

Tips

• 01
  Look over the village map before you set off, as KTO advises, so you know where the main houses are.
• 02
  Keep your voice down and stay out of yards and rooms unless you're invited in: families live in these houses.
