Step Back in Time at Gyeongju’s Yangdong Folk Village 🇰🇷🏯

Snapped this pic with my ticket, and omg—the vibes? Next-level! The cloudy, rainy sky set the mood, while lush green fields and classic Korean architecture legit made me feel like I’d hopped straight into a history drama.

Yangdong Folk Village is one of Gyeongju's must-see gems! Perfect for your s, this spot is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for looking *exactly* like the olden days of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). Seriously, the buildings there are sooo photogenic, with tiled roofs, wood beams, and all that iconic ancient style. 📸✨

Founded in the 15th century, the village was the home turf of the prestigious Yang clan, and guess what? Their fam still lives here today! The coolest part: Everything's laid out based on Confucian principles. There’s a clear distinction between the luxurious living quarters of the ruling class and the humble homes of commoners—your perfect history lesson in real life!

Quick facts if you wanna visit:
- Address: Yangdong Folk Village, 93 Yangdongmaeul-gil, Gangdong-myeon, Gyeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea
- Opening hours: Usually 9:00am – 6:00pm (but best to check Trip.com for the latest info!)
- Bring an umbrella if it gets rainy, but tbh, the moody clouds make every Insta snap pop! 🌧️
