About

Namsa Yedamchon is an old village that still carries the spirit of the traditional scholars, with tiled hanok set quietly along lanes of earth-and-stone walls. Mt. Nigu surrounds the village and the Sasu stream winds around it, giving the village a half-moon shape.

The center of the village has long been left empty, in the hope that the village's fortune, once full like a full moon, would not wane again.

Stories are hidden throughout the village, at places such as Sayangjeongsa, built by a descendant of Jeong Mong-ju, Yeongmojae, which enshrines the Yije Gaeguk Gongsin Gyoseo, and Sahyojae, which honors the filial devotion of Yi Yun-hyeon.

Besides seeing the hanok, visitors can try traditional experiences such as a traditional wedding, natural dyeing with pagoda tree, and folk games.
