As the Chuseok holiday approaches,

if you're pondering where to travel with your family,

I recommend Geumdangsil Traditional Village!

Located in Yecheon-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do,

Geumdangsil Village retains the charm of a traditional village that has existed since the Joseon Dynasty.

With its old houses, hanoks, and thatched-roof cottages,

the stone walls that line the village provide a glimpse into Yecheon's history and traditional culture!

Geumdangsil Village is recognized as one of the eight scenic spots in Yecheon,

making it a prominent historical and cultural tourist destination.

What is Geumdangsil Village like?

The village named Geumdangsil is steeped in history and rich stories.

It is particularly known as one of the ten significant places mentioned in the Joseon-era prophecy book, Jeonggamnok,

adding to its historical significance.

Upon entering the village, the first thing that catches your eye is the charming stone wall path.

The walls made of stones and earth follow the alleyways,

with traditional houses and old homes visible beyond the walls.

Taking a leisurely stroll to observe the traditional houses and cultural resources scattered throughout the village

is a highlight of visiting Geumdangsil Village.

Especially, exploring old houses like the Gyeongju Kwon Clan's ancestral home allows you to appreciate the structure of hanoks and glimpses of life in the past.

If you visit in autumn, don't miss the Geumdangsil Pine Forest!

The pine forest surrounding Geumdangsil Village is filled with ancient pine trees,

offering a different natural landscape to enjoy.

After walking around the village along the stone wall,

you can continue your walk to the pine forest,

enjoying both traditional culture and nature.

During early autumn, when the heat subsides and a cool breeze blows,

it's an ideal travel route.

Especially during the Chuseok holiday, families can explore Geumdangsil Village,

take a walk in the Geumdangsil Pine Forest,

and then visit nearby historical and cultural sites.

If you feel it would be a pity to only visit Geumdangsil Village,

consider connecting it with nearby attractions!

Notably, you can also visit Choganjeong and Choganjeong Garden.

This space, where pavilions and natural scenery blend,

offers a different autumn landscape of Yecheon while retaining the traditional atmosphere of Geumdangsil Village.

For children, it provides a historical and cultural experience by seeing the old village and hanoks they only read about in books,

and for adults, it evokes memories of their hometown and the landscapes of the past.

Geumdangsil Village is appealing not for flashy tourist facilities,

but for the chance to walk through the scenery of an old village

and encounter historical and cultural resources firsthand.

This Chuseok, instead of rushing through famous tourist spots,

how about taking a slow journey to discover the history and autumn scenery of our traditional village, Geumdangsil in Yecheon?
