Dorae Village is a hanok (traditional Korean house) village that is home to the Pungsan Hong family clan. It is arguably the village that best presents the traditional residential architectural style in Naju.

It is also called Docheon, as the village layout is in the shape of the Chinese character, “川 (Cheon).” In the village, there is harmonious coexistence of hanok with roof tiles and stone walls, and thatched-roof houses. Yangbyeokjeong and Yeonghojeong pavilions nestled behind a small pond present a picturesque sight, while the second-story Hyojamun at the entrance creates a unique landscape. There are a large number of valuable cultural heritage sites and traditional buildings such as Yangbyeokjeong near the entrance of the village, Yeonghojeong, Gyeeunjeong, Seobyeokdang, Gwiraedang, House of Hong Gi-heon (Importance Folk Material No. 165), House of Hong Gi-eung (Important Folk Material No. 151), House of Hong Gi-chang (Jeollanam-do Folk Material No. 9), and House of Hong Gi-jong (Jeollanam-do Folk Material No. 10).

The village is surrounded by Siksan Mountain, which is described to have had abundant sources of food that could feed the entire troops in the nation for three days and more, and there are stretches of fields and the Doraecheon Stream in front of the village. So, the village has mountains in the back and water in the front, which is considered auspicious according to Pungsujiri (Theory of Geomancy). In recent years, paragliding enthusiasts have been flocking to Siksan Mountains to fly across the sky every weekend.
