Jeju Folk Village in Jeju Island, Korea

We had a quick stop at the Jeju Folk Village. Actually the short trip was very interesting to learn about the local culture but it helps if the tour guide is very knowledgeable and also funny. If you were to come here by yourself, I think you will be lost.

However, the place was quite deserted and is not attracting the crowds. I wonder why? It was interesting to learn about the traditions here and the practises of the locals here as they have a very different language and culture from the mainland Koreans.



Traditional hut
How the locals use to live.
The island is famous for its black pigs.
Agriculture is also a main island activity.
Stone walls are built around villages and huts.

Again the Jeju statue

As in my other article, there was the Jeju statue where if you rub it's nose, you will be blessed with a baby boy and if you rub it's tummy, you will be prosperous.

Until the next time, cheers.
