Stepping Back in Time: A Living History Museum

#hellohalloween
The most striking feature of Seongeup Folk Village is its incredibly authentic and well-preserved architecture, making it feel like a genuine, working museum. Walking through the narrow, winding olle paths and past the thatched-roof houses , you are instantly transported back to the Joseon Dynasty era. The homes themselves are remarkable examples of traditional Jeju engineering; their thick, mushroom-like thatched roofs and durable black basalt stone walls were specifically designed to withstand the island's strong winds and unpredictable weather. It's truly fascinating to see how the locals adapted their living spaces to the unique environment. This commitment to authenticity provides a rare and visual insight into the traditional lifestyle of Jeju Islanders, which is often lost in modern society. We recommend dedicating at least an hour and a half to a slow, reflective wander here, pausing to appreciate the structural details and the historical significance of this special place.
