Korea Yangdong Folk Village

2. Yangdong Folk Village (Yangdong Village of Gyeongju) is a traditional yangban (Korean Aristocracy) village from the Joseon dynasty. The village is located in Gangdong-myeon, sixteen kilometers northeast of Gyeongju, along the Hyeongsan River. Mt. Seolchang stands to the north of the village. Yangdong dates back from the 15th century (Joseon period). The village has been very well preserved. It is in fact the largest traditional and most authentic village in Korea. It has been listed as a World Heritage Site of UNESCO in 2010. Although some of the village is unoccupied today, the village residents have continued to preserve the original spiritual legacy of the village by performing the traditional rituals and customs of upper-class families of the Joseon period until today.
