👩‍🏫 Teacher’s Tip

한옥을 방문할 때는 조용히 말하고 다른 관광객이나 주민에게 방해가 되지 않도록 조심해야 해요. 전통문화를 존중하는 태도는 한국인에게 좋은 인상을 줍니다.

When visiting Hanok villages, it’s important to speak quietly and be mindful not to disturb others. Respecting traditional culture always leaves a good impression on Koreans.

📌 Did You Know?

According to the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO), over **3.6 million foreign tourists** experienced Hanok-related activities in 2024. Among them, 41% wore hanbok, 32% joined traditional craft or tea ceremonies, and 27% participated in guided Hanok tours.


Why is it so popular? Tourists say they love Hanok villages because they can experience “authentic Korea” — a contrast to the neon-lit streets of Seoul. It’s peaceful, photogenic, and deeply cultural.
