Yangdong Folk Village, which was built from the 15th to 16th centuries by Yangban families (Dongseong Village) of both Wolseong Son Clan and Yeogang Lee Clan, has houses on four 자-shaped ridges and valleys extending from Munmunbong Peak of Seolchangsan Mountain, the main peak of the village.

Among them, most of the village’s head house and tile-roofed houses are located on highlands, and thatched houses are located on flat land. The Hyeongsangang River flowing along the southwest of the village, the wide Angang Plain, and the 자-shaped mountain terrain are known to bring wealth according to feng shui, and Hoi Eonjeok, a Confucian scholar of the mid-Joseon Dynasty, was also born in this village.

It is a traditional Korean folk village where the unique hanoks along the mountain valley, Confucianism statues and long customs of the Joseon Dynasty continue to this day.
