A royal palace made for the screen
Seodongyo Theme Park in Chunghwa-myeon, Buyeo, was built as an outdoor filming set for the Korean historical drama Seodongyo. Its palace-style buildings, academic hall and market street evoke a Baekje-era setting. They are drama sets, not excavated remains of an actual Baekje palace.
Where story meets history
The drama draws on the tale of King Mu of Baekje and Princess Seonhwa. Walking around the set offers a glimpse of how historical dramas imagine Korea's past, but screen designs should not be mistaken for archaeological evidence.
Visit in November
Buyeo County's tourism page lists the address as 616 Chungshin-ro, Chunghwa-myeon, Buyeo-gun, Chungcheongnam-do.

Continue to the reservoir
The county also introduces the walking route near Deogyong Reservoir. You may combine the set with a nature walk, though the live state of every path segment is unverified. Check admission prices, scheduled experiences and any filming-related restrictions with the venue (041-832-9913) before travel.
