Naganeupseong Folk Village is located in Jeollanam-do, and it is a town castle that is over 18,000 pyeong (1 pyeong = 3.3 sq m) in size.  Inside the castle, about 100 families still reside, and the castle area has been very well preserved. You can observe daily dwellings indigenous to the south provincial area such as the kitchen area, the clay rooms, and Korean style verandas.  There are also 9 houses designated as important cultural resources, and numerous straw-roof houses as well.  The folk village's other source of pride is the monument of General Im Kyeong-Eop (1594~1646).  At every 1st full moon of the new year, they hold a ritual ceremony at the general's monument and celebrate, with games such as seesaw jumping, swings, and other folk activities. When you enter the front gate of Naganeupseong Folk Village, you see a straight road leading to town.  Follow this road and you will come across the General Im Kyeong-Eop Monument, resource center, and other interesting sites to see. You can go to the end of this road, climb up to the castle itself, and walk along the castle wall to south. You can see the entire town and the castle in one view from the top of the castle.

Seonunsa Temple 
 
Well known for its beauty, Seonunsa Temple provided the location for episode 2. It shows Janggeum's mother, alone in a cave absorbed in thought. The scene in episode 6 where Jang-geum climbs down the mountain carrying a golden pheasant was filmed near the temple.

Seonamsa is a beautiful temple located at the west end of Mt. Jogyesan. You have to walk about 1 km from the entrance to reach the temple. If you go along the valley, two rainbow shaped bridges appear, and the large one at the back is Seungseon Bridge. Seungseon Bridge is designated as National Treasure No. 400, and it is Korea's most beautiful arched stone bridge. Past Seungseon Bridge is Gangseonru Tower, a fitting pair to the bridge before it. Pass by the tower and you will come across a small oval-shape pond called Samindang. There is a small isle inside the pond, and an evergreen on the isle makes for beautiful scenery. Go further and Ilju Gate appears. Then various temple buildings come out. The big timber blocks of the temple buildings are impressive, and they blend in elegantly with the surrounding mountains. The hiking course on the left of Seonamsa Temple takes you to Ma-aebuli, the 17m high sculpture engraved on a rock. You should not miss it.

Seonamsa Temple is beautiful all throughout the year, but it is especially inviting during the spring when all the bluish and brilliant flowers start to bloom, as well as in the fall with the autumn colors.
