About

Gaepyeong Hanok Village sits in the center of Hamyang and is a representative scholar village of the Yeongnam region. It produced so many Confucian scholars that people used to say "Andong on the left, Hamyang on the right. " It is also the hometown of Ildu Jeong Yeo-chang, one of the Five Sages of the Joseon dynasty.

Three clans, the Hadong Jeong, Pungcheon No and Chogye Jeong families, have lived here for generations, and the village gave rise to respected figures such as Jeong Yeo-chang and Okgye No Jin.

Many traditional houses are designated cultural heritage, including Ildu Gotaek (National Folk Cultural Heritage), Gyosujeong (Gyeongsangnam-do Cultural Heritage Material) and the Gaepyeong-ri Pine Grove (Gyeongsangnam-do Natural Heritage).

These sites offer a glimpse into the daily life and customs of earlier generations.
