Namsan Hanok Village

Today I went Namsan Hanok Village.

Namsan Hanok Village is located in downtown Seoul.

Last year when I went to Namsan Hanok Village it was wonderful. I  wanted to come here again.

And today, finally I went to Namsan Hanok Village. So I was so happy to go there.

Namsan Hanok Village shows houses of different classes during the Joseon Dynasty. The walls were made of a mixture of soil and straw. Nails were not used. So It was easy to move and rebuild hanok.

In Namsan Hanok Village there are two kinds of roofs. Hanok with tiled-roofs and hanok with thatched-roofs. Noblemen (Yangban) lived in tiled-roof houses.

Sarangchae was the area for men and anchae was for Women. Servants stayed in haengnangchae.

Middle and Lower class people live in thatched-roof houses. Straw was easy to find so many thatched-roof house's roof were made of straw. Thatched-roof houses are cool in summer and warm in the winter.

We also saw Jangdokdae, too. Jangdok have good ventilation. So Joseon people put kimchi in them.

Kim Chunyeong was the head of the royal guards. And Park Yeonghyo's family was one of the richest families in Seoul.

Yun Taek Young was King Sunjong's son-in-law. The shrine was located in a good position and built before other buildings.

Namsan Hanok Village is really wonderful.

I wish to come here one more time.

well done on a good essay :)
