Photos of Abai Village

Aba Village is a famous tourist destination in Sokcho, and it is also a place where many North Koreans took refuge during the Korean War. Since they could not return to their hometowns, they settled here for a long time. This is also the location where Enxi's family is located in the popular Korean drama "Blue Life and Death", and the small shop run by Enxi's mother is still in the small village, but the store in the play is now a restaurant, but the building itself still remains Looks like in the play. Abba Village is a typical rural village in Korea with dense houses and rustic style. The village still uses the raft that appeared in the play. This raft appeared earlier in the 1950s and was the means of transportation for the villagers to go to the city. What is special about rafts is that human power is required to pull the chains attached to the raft to make the raft glide. At dusk, the raft glides slowly on the water covered with the afterglow of the setting sun, just like the scene in the TV series. There is a special snack called "Aba Rice Sausage" in Abai Village. It is made from glutinous rice, pig blood and vegetables, seasoned and stuffed into pig intestines. It is quite delicious.
