What to explore

Walk through the reconstructed village to compare traditional homes and the spaces where people worked and gathered. Combine the village walk with a performance or hands-on experience from the current programme. This is a cultural theme park; its staged village setting should not be confused with a continuously inhabited historic village.

K-Drama filming locations: three stops to explore

Plan a short walk through these traditional spaces, then use the on-site signs and multilingual QR guide to identify filming references. Visitors searching for Kingdom Netflix filming locations in Korea should confirm a specific scene with the village staff; the stops below are a sightseeing route, not a verified scene-by-scene set map.

🧟 Kingdom fans · Stop 1

Government Office · 관아

Official map stop 36 · magistrate’s hall & courtyard.

Explore this stop & filming context

Find location 36 on the official village guide. This reconstruction of Yonggu-hyeon’s government office includes the magistrate’s Dongheon hall and a courtyard illustrating Joseon administration and justice. Explore the gates and wooden architecture that make historical drama settings so distinctive.

🍳 Dae Jang Geum · Stop 2

Filming reference near the Inner Gate

Follow the Dae Jang Geum filming marker near 내삼문.

Explore this stop & filming context

The village’s official educational guide identifies a Dae Jang Geum (Jewel in the Palace) filming location near 내삼문, the Inner Gate. Follow the local signage, then compare everyday kitchens and household tools as you walk through the village. Ask staff for the current filming marker rather than searching for a guaranteed royal-kitchen set.

🌙 The Moon Embracing the Sun · Stop 3

Nobleman’s Mansion · 양반가

Official map stop 53 · courtyards & rooflines.

Explore this stop & filming context

Fans of The Moon Embracing the Sun can explore the architectural language of Joseon-period dramas here. For a photo stop, visit location 53, the 99-kan Yangban mansion. Kan means a bay between pillars, not 99 separate rooms. Frame the courtyards and rooflines; ask staff which building matches the scene you remember.
