Korean Tourism To Eat Seaweed Rice, Sleep On The Floor In A Traditional Hanok

I feel like I'm really immersed in Korean life when curled up in warm blankets on the floor and enjoy a traditional breakfast with rice, kimchi, seaweed. Surely, when watching Korean movies, everyone wishes to get a deep sleep on the floor of traditional hanok houses, wake up in the morning with a table full of dishes. So when I have the opportunity to come to the land of kimchi, my friends and I are determined to find a way to live like a real Korean in the ancient village of Hahoe, Andong city, this is an old village built and born by the Ryu family. living from the Joseon Dynasty. Over 600 years, the traditional hanok houses in Hahoe have been preserved almost intact and are home to hundreds of people

. To feel the slow and peaceful life hundreds of years ago but still admire the full beauty of the village dubbed the lotus in the lake, we chose to stay overnight at the old house of Confucius Ryu. Seong-ryong was famous during the Joseon Dynasty. The hanok house was in the old village of Hahoe The house is located right next to the river surrounding the village, at the foot of Hwasan mountain.



This is where Ryu Seong-ryong, after returning to his hometown, had built it to maintain his old age. Therefore, the house has a very beautiful position, lying halfway up the mountain, behind is a green pine hill, in front of which is a poetic landscape of the ancient village of Hahoe with its shady roofs and gentle, winding river. For houses that have come, we have to step through twice to get inside. One gate separates the outside from the auxiliary works, the other leads from the auxiliary structure to the courtyard where there are large houses. Usually the girls go anywhere with the priority group of boys, but according to the arrangement of the host, this time we "can" in the room next to the kitchen, while the men of course moved to the main house with two rooms. In Korean culture, especially in the ancient period, men and women have a clear position and responsibility in society. This is reflected in indoor living spaces for men and women Understanding the implications of the host's arrangement, we moved the suitcase to the designated room.



But all were surprised when all four girls opened the door and saw that the room was less than 10 m² wide. Everyone wondered how they would manage in this space that was supposed to be just 1-2 people. The floor is always warm thanks to the traditional ondol heating. However, after deciding to leave the suitcase outside, bringing only the necessary things inside, the 4 sat down and found just enough space to rest. The problem now is that the auxiliary structure is quite far from the bedroom and the outside temperature drops to about 5-6 degrees Celsius. In addition to the entrance through the gate, we choose to take a shortcut by crossing to the next kitchen because this place connecting directly to auxiliary structures. So one more problem has been solved. The most interesting is the feeling of stepping from the outdoor "refrigerator" into a warm bedroom, like two completely different worlds even though only a thin sliding door.



The door is light, covered with paper and in the same mesh. Just forcefully pull over the door to reveal the mesh, which is effective for ventilation in the summer. The furniture in the room is not much, in addition to the small shelf that supports the television, the power outlet, the bookshelf, there is a large cabinet. Contains a lot of blankets and mattresses. We take out the sheets one by one and eagerly enjoy the relaxing feeling of leaning back. At night the temperature outside was 0 degrees Celsius, but inside we were still shorts, short-sleeved shirts, lying on the cushions spread right on the floor and doing great sports. That's thanks to the stone heating system used by Koreans for hundreds of years, spreading layers of rock under the floor and heating a large rock. The heat from this stone will spread and transfer heat to the floor to help warm the room.



This is also one of the reasons why bedrooms in a hanok are often small but cozy. Koreans also do not paint lime but have a habit of sticking wallpaper, both beauty, and breathable, suitable for the dry weather. Traditional rice with dozens of dishes.

For Koreans, breakfast is the most important meal and is packed with members. The table is served with dozens of dishes, each containing only a little but just enough and eye-catching.Besides rice and kimchi, seaweed and soybean soup are two indispensable dishes in traditional Korean meals.



. In addition, we were also served with a few dishes of sour salt, fish and sticky rice cakes. We are not in the habit of eating breakfast, but we all eat delicious dishes of the rice we bring, and even have to order more. Fully charged, we are all ready for the long day ahead.
