Otgol Traditional Village, Daegu
Otgol is a historic clan village in Dunsan-dong, Dong-gu, Daegu, associated with the Gyeongju Choe family. Earthen and stone walls and traditional houses make its lanes distinctive. It remains a lived-in residential neighborhood, not an open-air museum with unrestricted access to private homes.
