Because I believe that only by really walking into the past can we see the soul of a city. When we stepped into this village, we were attracted by the thatched Korean houses with Jeju basalt exterior walls at first sight. Unlike other antique villages, this place is not a museum-style display, but a place where people actually live. The old grandfathers and grandmothers in the village are still wearing traditional clothes, walking slowly through the stone walls and narrow alleys, and the wrinkles on their faces seem to be telling the vicissitudes of Jeju in the past. We followed the free tour guide for a walk. The guide spoke fluent Chinese and introduced in detail the sources of building materials, structural ingenuity and Feng Shui design of these houses. Jeju's unique "three mores" - more stones, more winds, and more women are all reflected in this village. Especially the "stones" - walls and windproof stone pillars made of volcanic rocks can be seen everywhere in the village, which are both practical and beautiful. Particularly impressive are the traditional black pig pens and manure fuel systems. Although they seem simple, they are very consistent with the wisdom of life at that time: human feces are not wasted, black pigs eat kitchen waste, and pig manure becomes fuel, forming a self-sufficient system with almost zero waste, which makes people deeply admire the survival methods of their ancestors. The park also offers many interactive experiences. We happened to encounter a straw rope weaving demonstration that day, and weaved a small piece by ourselves as a souvenir. There is also a service for renting hanbok, and you can wear traditional clothes and take photos in the village. It really feels like "entering the background of a Korean drama", which is very interesting. However, compared with these tourist elements, what moved me most was the simple atmosphere of life. Some residents would dry peppers and corn in front of their homes, and some grandmas would greet tourists and wave with a smile. The feeling of "living cultural heritage" is incomparable to other artificial tourist villages. If you are a traveler interested in culture and history, or hope to "understand Jeju" instead of just playing Jeju, then Seongeup Folk Village is definitely worth your half-day visit. There is no hustle and bustle here, only the quietness of the wind and the sound of history flowing slowly in the air. The journey is not just about collecting scenery, sometimes, it is to hear these quietly told stories. And "Seongeup Folk Village" is where that story begins. 🌾🏚️🍂 #Seongeup Folk Village #Seogwipo #Seongsan #Jeju #jeju #jeju_island_travel #서귀포일식
