  Introduction
  Gyeongju Folk Craft Village consists of 40 thatched and tile-roofed houses, lived in by local artisans of traditional arts and crafts skills. Various fields of crafts production including metal, pottery, timber, jewels, hanbok (Korean traditional clothes), and stone-crafts can be found in the village. The craftsmen at work and the entire production process are opened to the public with some shops even offering hands-on programs for visitors to experience. In addition, visitors may purchase the products from these shops at a relatively cheaper price than usual retail. At this folk craft village, not only can one enjoy the beautiful scenery of a hanok village but also the nearby attractions including Bomun Tourist Complex and Bulguksa Temple.
