Cheongpung Cultural Properties, Cultural heritage museum in Cheongpung-myeon, South Korea.
Cheongpung Cultural Properties is an open-air museum in a mountainous region of South Korea that displays restored traditional buildings and artifacts. The site combines residential homes, shrines, bridges, and other structures with gardens and pathways into one interconnected area.
The site developed in the 1980s after buildings were gathered from areas set to be flooded by water dam projects. The rescue and relocation of these structures saved them from being submerged and made them accessible for future generations.
The complex displays traditional homes and objects that reflect how people lived in earlier times. Visitors walk through authentic rooms and spaces to see daily life from centuries past.
The museum grounds are laid out generously and invite walking, with plenty of space to explore. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and allow enough time to move through the different buildings and gardens.
The site functions as more than just a museum by offering real, walkable spaces where visitors can enter actual homes and see their interiors. This closeness to authentic living quarters creates a more direct understanding of historical life than display cases in typical museum buildings.
