Hello, I am Yoon Soo-mi from the Hamann SNS reporting team.

While driving around Hamann, I discovered a beautiful buckwheat flower field and had a delightful exploration of the quaint village.

Shall we explore the charm of Hamann as it transitions into autumn?

1. Where is Yunsan Village in Hamann?

Yunsan Village is located near the Beopsu Agricultural Industrial Complex in Beopsu-myeon.

In the past, it was the administrative center encompassing Yunnaeri and Yunwaeri, where the Marun-myeon office was situated in 1906. In 1914, it merged with the former Daesan-myeon and became part of the current Beopsu-myeon.

It was also referred to as Marun Village, stemming from a legend where a heavily loaded horse lost its wheel while crossing a hill. The current name, Yunsan Village, reflects the village's shape resembling a wheel, symbolizing the vibrant life and continuous development of the community.

2. Enjoying the Buckwheat Flowers in Yunsan Village

There is a friendly sign marking Yunsan Village right next to the road, and carts symbolizing the village are placed throughout, creating a pleasant atmosphere.

When I asked an elderly resident loading a truck, they mentioned it was fine to enjoy the flowers until harvest time. They reminisced about planting cosmos flowers up until last year, which they found personally more beautiful.

The buckwheat flower field is privately owned, but the residents have laid down mats to create a walking path for visitors, complete with a small resting area resembling a hut.

As I ventured further along the path, I encountered a blue dome-shaped sculpture with a swing inside, making it a lovely photo spot that evoked nostalgic feelings.

The buckwheat flowers were robustly blooming, resembling white salt sprinkled on the grass from a distance. Up close, each tiny petal was blooming beautifully.

3. Exploring Yunsan Village

Next to the village sign, there was a small map introducing the village. I decided to use this map to explore the area.

The map included locations such as the well, village hall, and the village's ancestral trees, along with records of residents, which added a familiar and warm feeling.

Since not all locations were marked on the map, I started my exploration from the village hall.

As I wandered, a local elder, Mr. Ji Young-chun, who is 90 years old, kindly approached me and shared insights about the village's ancestral trees.

Next to the village hall, remnants of a rice mill could be seen, a place where rice is processed from paddy.

As I ventured deeper, I discovered the site of a former tobacco shop, now home to a resident. I couldn't help but wonder how it used to look and how the elders purchase tobacco now.

4. Reflections on My Visit

The buckwheat flower field in Yunsan Village, though not vast at about 300 pyeong, presented a simple yet beautiful scene. The swings and sculptures added a charming touch.

The village preserves remnants of its past, including the tobacco shop, well, rice mill, and the birthplace of Dr. Heo Gwon-soo, allowing visitors to experience its historical ambiance.

If you're interested in seeing buckwheat flowers in Gyeongnam, I recommend visiting Yunsan Village in Beopsu-myeon. Thank you.
