Yesterday a Korean friend picked us up for a trip to the Suncheon
City Namyang Fortress. It is a traditional Korean village that is 600 years old.
It has been turned into a tourist place to raise money to maintain its landmark
status.
In a nutshell, straight from the pamphlet:
The village was a planned town established
during the Chosun Dynasty. Boasting over 600 years of history, the village
preserves culture ties, natural resources and traditional folk heritage times.
A few hundred residents are still living in the village. It was designated as a
historic site in 1983.
My friends and I hammed it up for the
camera and enjoyed posing with the statues.
It was great to see such an amazing part
of Korean history.
