An entrance to the Korean Folk Village

Here's another gate leading to the houses and halls within the compound of the Korean Folk Village. It was quite obvious the park's layout was built after the different palaces we saw in Seoul. Once one passed a gate, there was another gate to go through before actually arriving at the house or hall.

This was the first house we saw inside the village.

Although for sure these basket and bowls made of rattan, reeds, and wood were hung on these walls for practical purposes in the old days, I find them aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

Rattan baskets so similar to those made in South East Asia

Another view of the house with its doors open to let air in and allow the cool breeze to pass through especially in the hot and humid summer months in Korea.

I believe these containers were used to keep kimchi or kimchee in English

Here's more of them.

Wood burning stoves

Soy sauce containers, so similar to the kimchi containers
