A restored traditional Korean ethnic village with thatched-roof houses, plus authentic swing and seesaw experiences; the park is the main backdrop for Korean ethnic costume photo shoots (paired with the internet-famous wall), and folk song-and-dance performances run on a set schedule. Entry is free, and dressing up in Korean ethnic costume for photos in the traditional courtyards is Yanji's hottest activity.
Getting there: South of Yanji's urban area
