Gapgyeong MRT Station ( 경의.중안선 gyeongui. Junganseon)

Take travel bus ￦6000 / taxi ￦40000~ around 45 minutes

Entrance fee:

I just amazed how they made all of the houses, art gallery, cafes and balcony. All looked very unique but i just this place just not enough for impressed me. When you come in you get a guide map, you can also see the timetable for some traditional show, puppet show, dance or music. But that's all very small and ya not so me
