Suncheon trip like riding a time machine | Travel Course | K-Travel Mate

Once the territory of Mahan during the Samhan period, a fortification during Baekje, and the site of Nagan-gun in Goryeo, this area preserves the fortress, Dongheon, guesthouse, General Im Gyeong-eop's monument, marketplace, and thatched houses in their original form from the Joseon Dynasty. The fortress and village were the first in the country to be designated a historic site together. In the 6th year of King Taejo of Joseon (1397), General Kim Bin-gil of Yanghyegong, a local from this area, raised an army to defend against Japanese pirate invasions by building an earthen wall. About 300 years later, in the 4th year of King Injo (1626), General Im Gyeong-eop, known as Chungmingong, was appointed governor of Nagan and rebuilt the stone fortress as it stands today. Unlike other fortresses, it was sturdily constructed on a wide plain using square natural stones 1–2m in size, reaching 4m in height, 3–4m in width, with total fortress length of 1,410m, enclosing three villages—Dongnae, Namnae, and Seonae—in a rectangular shape. Nearly 400 years later, it remains intact and grand. Many generations still live in this traditional folk village, recognized as valuable both for folklore scholarship and as a living history museum. Entering through the east gate as well as the west and south gates creates the illusion of a historical drama filming set (used for "Dragon Tears," "Taejo Wang Geon" among others). Unlike exhibit-style villages like Yongin or Jeju folk villages or aristocrat villages like Andong Hahoe, it shows the genuine lifestyle of ordinary Koreans, filled with the scent and warmth of ancestors. Distinctive southern housing features such as the verandah, kitchen, earth floor, roof, jangdok pots on stone steps, and stone walls linking neighbors are neither sharp nor high, entwined with fence gourds, evoking childhood memories of playing tag and a heartfelt sense of home. ◎ Travel info to experience Hallyu charm – The drama "Youth Geumdang" is set here, where one can see traditional Korean life from the Joseon era to present. The clustered thatched houses are heartwarming, and the earth-and-stone walls with beautifully curved roofs are simply beautiful. Walking along the fortress wall offers a panoramic view of the thatched village. This is the background for Minjae's village in "Youth Geumdang."
