It was the traditional Korean dance performed by villagers' farmers to celebrate the harvest. I suppose that was the meaning of it all.
As soon as we got there, we knew that in about 20 minutes or so, some performances were ready to start.
First, at 11.00 there was this so called 'farmers' music and dance; followed by acrobatics on a tightrope at 11.30. So, it was a good timing that we came at about 10.15 so that we could see the whole programs available in the village.

There were hundreds of people visited the village today. I kinda wonder if this was an everyday sight Should this be true, well then...the village can be considered as a success in itself in term of attracting the visitors to come.
Oh, about the performance: I liked the farmers' dance since it was really an interesting combination of music and dance with a twist. Samulnori--Korean traditional musical instruments--that accompanied the dance stirred the whole spirit of the dance.
As for the tightrope show, it was not that attractive, but still it stirred the crowds' cheers since it showed a bit of suspense of what to expect from an elderly and aged man in his 60's who's still doing this as his job at his age. I mean.....shouldn't they just find younger generation to inherit his skills?
