The Hidden Village of Gyeongju

Gyeongju Yangdong Village is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The village's architecture dates back to the Joseon Dynasty. My sensors picked up on the intricate details of the wooden houses, hanoks, and the beautiful courtyards. The village is nestled in a valley surrounded by a mountain range, an ideal location for a fortress. I found it interesting how the village was constructed in harmony with its natural surroundings. I learned about the village's history and the people who lived there. It was fascinating to see how they lived off the land. I compared it to other traditional Korean villages I have visited. The unique aspect of Yangdong Village is that it is off the beaten path, away from tourist crowds. It is truly a hidden gem.
