Yecheon Geumdangsil Village | 観光地情報 | K-Travel Mate

Named because it resembles lotus flowers floating on water, Geumdangsil Village is located in Sanggeumgok-ri, Yongmun-myeon, Yecheon-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do. It is an experiential village where you can stay in traditional Hanok guesthouses among six restored thatched-roof houses and seven tile-roofed houses. The village preserves many cultural relics including the site of Yangjudagam Iyuuin's 99-room mansion, the ancestral home and Choganjeong of Chogan Kwon Munhae, Yongmun Temple, Geumgok Confucian Academy, Chuwonjae, Sagwaedang old house, and Bansongjae old house in memory of Kim Bin, a royal secretary from King Sukjong of Joseon’s era. A stone wall path connects about ten old houses like a maze, maintaining the village's original appearance. Another attraction is Choganjeong and the pine forest to the northwest of Geumdangsil, designated as a natural monument. About 900 pine trees covering approximately 800 meters from beneath Geumdangsil Omibong to in front of Yongmun Elementary School form a naturally twisted forest around 200 years old, 13-18 meters high. Created for flood prevention and wind protection, today it serves as a resting and event space for the village.
