Naganeupseong folk village

 It was a nice, cool and shiny morning when I get up. Just after the breakfast we need to move to the Naganeupseong folk village. Naganeupseong Folk Village is located in Jeollanam-do Province, and contains a town castle. Within the east, south and west of the castle, about 100 families still reside, and the castle area has been very well preserved. 

There are also 9 houses designated as important cultural resources, and numerous straw-roof houses as well. The folk village’s other source of pride is the monument of General Im Kyeong-Eop (1594~1646).

 At every first full moon of the New Year, they hold a ritual ceremony and celebration at the general’s monument, with games such as seesaw jumping, swings, and other folk activities.

To me it was like a village in my country, all the things were almost same, same streets, same homes, same living style, simple people and same warm heartedness. We experienced a demonstration of weaving, straw arts, experiencing farm implements, village animals and pansori. 

We have a chance to recall our childhood games like seesaw by playing them in the garden. We had a wonderful lunch in the folk village, tasty and full of traditional way of presentation.
