#folkactivities #100waysoftravel #southkorea #suwon #koreanfun During my visit to Suwon Folk Village, the traditional performances were truly captivating and brought Korea’s rich history to life. One of the highlights was watching the horseback martial arts show, where skilled riders galloped across the field, demonstrating incredible archery and combat techniques. It felt like stepping back in time, witnessing the agility and precision of ancient Korean warriors. I was also fascinated by the reenactment of a traditional wedding ceremony, with performers dressed in beautiful hanboks, showcasing the intricate rituals that have been passed down for generations. The energy of the farmer’s music and dance, or "nongak," was contagious—vibrant drumming and lively dances filled the air, celebrating the agricultural roots of Korean culture. These performances added so much depth to my experience, allowing me to fully appreciate the beauty and vitality of traditional Korean life.
