Chungju wild flowers and old house visit is a traditional Korean house village located near Chungju lake, Salmi-myeon, Chungju. Originally, it is an old house for Choi Eung Seong built late in Chosun dynasty. It was once about to be destroyed as the result of building Chungju dam, but it was fortunately moved to the current location. Now, various traditional events or performances are held, and also used as a house for one night stay.
The owner sells wild flowers and operates a wild flower café, so it is finally named as Chungju wild flowers and old house visit. Around the garden with a well that actually operates, there are anchae, sarangchae and haengrangchae that together form the shape of square. In each building, there are rooms decorated nicely with old furniture, paintings and so on. You can also reserve a BBQ place.
