The town of Buyeo

Buyeo is a small town/province of South Korea. This place holds most of the historical momentos from thousand years ago. The capital of the Baekje Kingdom from AD 538 - 660, one of the three vying kingdoms that existed in the Korean peninsula in the 6th century.

This town is so small that you can find everything just by walking. One day of roaming you can actually say that you already saw the whole town. It proves to be very historic as we see all kinds of statues, curving of weird/scary faces & pagodas everywhere. The town does have a great museum of Baekje artifacts which just across our apartment complex.

I can say that the town is quiet, friendly- in the sense that it introduce and connect you to the past...... very interesting. This is the place for those who are into history and don't mind a small town at all, but if you are a city person - not the place for you. There's a small downtown but doesn't offer much, the nearest city where you can do a real shopping is more than an hour away. Seoul the capital, more or less 2 hours away from here.

We plan to explore the place as we find time, I'll tell you more about it :)
