Gyeongju Gyochon Traditional Village

Experience the life of the Choi Clan at Gyeongju Gyochon Traditional Village. Here, you can participate in artisan workshops, enjoy traditional Korean cuisine, and taste the heritage-listed Gyeongju Gyodong Beopju law liquor. Although Gyeongju Gyochon Traditional Village is now one of South Korea's major tourist attractions, it remains a community where members of the Choi Clan have lived for generations. Therefore, please respect the privacy of the residents when taking photos.

Stroll through the village's narrow streets to admire traditional buildings with gabled roofs and carved wooden doorways. These traditional hanoks date back to the 14th century during the Joseon Dynasty and retain their original architectural style. For a more immersive experience, you can rent traditional Gyeongju hanbok for photos and participate in folkloric activities. You can also work with local potters to create ceramic vases and bowls or make fragrant souvenirs at the soap-making center.

In addition to experiencing the cultural heritage of Gyeongju Gyochon Village, you can enjoy traditional tea and Korean delicacies in the hanoks and taste the important "Intangible Cultural Asset" — Gyeongju Gyodong Beopju. Gyeongju Gyochon Traditional Village is open year-round and requires an admission fee. To learn more about the history and culture of the Choi Clan, visit the information center, which also serves as a small museum, and book an English-guided tour to explore some of the traditional hanoks.
