The rural experience is one of the hottest tour trends! "Rural Village Experience," where you can experience and enjoy rural villages firsthand, is becoming more popular than simple sightseeing tours.
In particular, the rural village experience lets you have an extraordinary experience and learn traditional Korean culture as well - it's like hitting two birds with one stone.
When you actually decide to experience the rural village, however, getting the right information as to where to go and what to do is difficult.
KRC will help you find out more about villages offering rural experience through Welchon (www.welchon.com).
