Your Experience

Korean Folk Village

Begin your day with a pick-up from Seoul, traveling to the Korean Folk Village. Step back in time into the Joseon dynasty as this living museum showcases over 260 traditional houses from varying social strata — peasants to the noble yangban class. Engage in vibrant cultural performances, including nong-ak (farmers' music and dance) and traditional wedding displays. Dive into hands-on experiences; try natural dyeing, pottery crafting, or even don traditional hanbok attire. Learn about the customs and lifestyles of the ancient Koreans from your knowledgeable guide.

Suwon Hwaseong Fortress

Travel to Suwon, the provincial capital of Gyeonggi-do, and admire the Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a massive fortification that surrounds the city center. Here, history weaves tales of King Jeongjo, who built this monumental structure in memory of his father. As you walk along the 5.7 km-long perimeter wall, the watchtowers and gates narrate stories of defense and resilience.
