Hahoe Village, a representative village of Korea,
has been home to the Pungsan Ryu family for generations.
The village is dotted with serene traditional houses.
You can also experience the historic cultural heritage of
Hahoe Byeolsin Gut Tal Nori and Seonyu Jullbul Nori,
making it a place for diverse travel experiences.
To fully enjoy all of this,
I recommend experiencing both day and night in Hahoe Village.
Let's explore the nooks and crannies of Hahoe Village!
Hahoe Village is embraced by the Nakdong River, flowing in an S-shape.
With the beautiful natural environment of Mansongjeong Pine Forest and the steep cliffs of Buyongdae,
the tranquil traditional houses create a harmonious beauty.
Especially now, as we transition from summer to autumn,
the scenery of Hahoe Village is peaceful,
like a painting at every glance.
Walking through the alleys while admiring flowers blooming over the walls
brings a sense of tranquility.
As you stroll, you may pause at the representative buildings of Hahoe Village,
such as Yangjindang and Chungyodang,
or visit the exhibition hall of artifacts set up within the family house
to view precious relics.
After meeting the sacred zelkova tree of Samsindang,
you can also make a wish.
As you slowly enjoy the daytime in Hahoe Village,
before you know it, darkness falls,
and night arrives.
Next, it's time to experience the night of Hahoe Village,
where the Seonyu Jullbul Nori unfolds.
Following pre-events filled with humor and satire,
the main event of Hahoe Seonyu Jullbul Nori begins.
Between the lush pine trees of Mansongjeong and the steep cliffs of Buyongdae,
the fire is lit,
illuminating the dark night with beautiful flames.
The softly glowing flames gradually grow brighter,
creating a stunning spectacle.
As the fireworks rain down,
the audience cheers,
and a large fireball falls from the cliffs of Buyongdae.
Under the shower of fireworks,
numerous lanterns called egg fires
glow yellow as they float down the river.
Just as the scholars of old enjoyed the arts,
performers reenact the past on boats.
All these sights come together,
creating a breathtaking scene that evokes admiration.
Hahoe Seonyu Jullbul Nori, a traditional Korean fire play,
is a beautiful cultural heritage worth experiencing at least once.
