A lived-in village, not an outdoor museum
In Jigok-myeon, Hamyang, traditional roofs and stone walls line the streets of Gaepyeong Village. Korea Tourism Organization's VISITKOREA guide describes more than 60 hanok buildings over a century old. The small lanes give visitors a chance to notice the layout of upper-class houses in the Gyeongsang region, not just photograph a famous landmark.
Look closely at Ildu Historic House
One notable building is associated with the Joseon scholar Jeong Yeo-chang. Observe how a historic Korean home separates living spaces and how the tiled roofs meet its courtyard and walls. VISITKOREA notes the house's use as a filming location, but its cultural story is far older than those productions.
Practical details
Search for '개평한옥마을' on a Korean map. The tourism listing gives 59 Gaepyeong-gil, Jigok-myeon, Hamyang-gun as the village address; this does not identify every individual courtyard or workshop. Parking is listed as available, and opening hours vary by facility. Programs such as tea confectionery or flower crafts are mentioned, but their actual dates, booking status and fees are not confirmed here.
Respect a residential neighborhood
Do not enter closed gates or private yards without permission. Ask before photographing residents, speak quietly and avoid touching fragile buildings.
