Travel Korea Naganeupseong

Have you ever watched a period Korean drama and saw how people lived back in the day? There’s still a place in Korea that looks just like that.  낙안읍성 (Naganeupseong) is a Korean castle in Nagan-myeon, Suncheon, Jeollanamdo, South Korea. The castle is more than 600 years old and it is well preserved. Inside the castle, there’s a small village of  well preserved traditional thatched houses and people are still living in them!

To be honest, I found this place by total accident. I was visiting my friend who currently lives near the southern sea and we saw a picture and thought it would be great to visit. And it was. I felt like I was stepping into the past and it was fun to wander around the village.

It’s an amazing place that I want to show you around in person if I can. I’m sure you’ll love it! So if you ever have a chance to visit the southern sea, stop by. You can rent a room from one of those traditional thatched houses. I’m sure when the night comes and all the tourists leave the castle, the village will be nothing more than a magical dream. 

How to get there

Depends where you are, but most likely, you’ll have to rent a car to come to 순천 (Suncheon) city. It’s an 5 hour drive from Seoul, and there’s more than just this village in Suncheon to enjoy such as the Suncheon Bay Cyber Ecological Park  or Suncheon Park  ( post will come soon!) so it’s definitely worth the drive. And if you made it to Suncheon, might was well go and see the Southern sea too. There’s so many beautiful places I want to show you guys!

Naganeupseong Folk Village (낙안읍성민속마을) 

IntroductionNaganeupseong Folk Village is located in Jeollanam-do Province, and contains a town castle that is over 18,000 Pyeong (1 pyeong = 3.3 sq m) in size. Within the east, south and west of the castle, about 100 families still reside, and the castle area has been very well preserved. You can observe the daily dwellings indigenous to the south provincial area such as the kitchen area, the clay rooms, and Korean-style verandas. There are also 9 houses designated as important cultural resources, and numerous straw-roof houses as well. The folk village’s other source of pride is the monument of General Im Kyeong-Eop (1594~1646). At every first full moon of the new year, they hold a ritual ceremony and celebration at the general’s monument, with games such as seesaw jumping, swings, and other folk activities.  When you enter the front gate of Naganeupseong Folk Village, on the east side of the castle (called “Nakpung-ru”), you see a straight road leading to town. Follow along this road and you will come across the General Im Kyeong-Eop Monument, resource center, and other interesting sites. You may also walk to the end of this road, climb up to the castle itself, and walk along the castle wall to the south. The entire castle is exceptionally well-preserved, and you can view the whole town from the top level.Current StatusHistorical site No. 302ClosedSeollal (Lunar New Year), ChuseokOperating HoursDec.-Jan.: 09:00-17:00 Feb.–Apr. & Nov.: 09:00-18:00 May.-Oct.: 08:30-18:30Parking FacilitiesAvailableParking FeesFreeAdmission FeesAdults (ages over 19): 2,000 won / Group: 1,500 won Youths (ages 13-18): 1,500 won / Group: 1,000 won  Children (ages 7-12): 1,000 won / Group: 500 won  * Group : 30 people or moreDirectionsFrom Dong Seoul Bus Terminal or Seoul Central City Bus Terminal.
