About

Soaring like a folding screen opposite Hahoe Village, Buyongdae Cliff is a famous spot where you can view the village at a glance. It took its name from the appearance of Hahoe Village, which looks like a lotus flower floating on the water, and in the past, it was also called 'Bugae', meaning a hill in the north. It also served as a buffer zone preventing the stream of the Nakdonggang River from swirling around the village, so it was considered a miraculous place by the villagers.

This is a historic place where the brothers Ryu Seong-ryong and Ryu Un-ryong discussed academics and strengthened their brotherly love, and Ryu Seong-ryong also wrote the National Treasure 'Chingbirok' at Ogyeonjeongsa House. It is also famous as the place where the traditional 'Seonyujulbulnori' enjoyed by the scholars of Hahoe was held. It is the best place to feel the mood of Hahoe Village with the harmony of beautiful natural scenery and historical stories.
