About

Located in a unique topography where the Nakdong River meanders in an S-shape, Andong Hahoe Village is a representative single-clan village in Korea where the Pungsan Ryu family has lived for generations. Registered as a UNESCO World Heritage site, it preserves the original forms of the old mansions of the Joseon dynasty nobility and the thatched-roof houses of the commoners, allowing visitors to vividly glimpse the beauty of traditional hanok and the lifestyle of the time. Traditional cultures such as the Hahoe Byeolsingut Talnori and Seonyu Julbul Nori, which pray for the peace and a bountiful harvest of the village, continue to this day, delivering a deep resonance as a living heritage.

Enjoy a panoramic view of the entire village from Buyongdae Cliff, or feel the tranquil atmosphere beneath the zelkova tree.
