Andong Travel Guide

A Confucian town in North Gyeongsang, South Korea, known for the Hahoe Village heritage site, mask dance and Confucian traditions.

📍 Destination Overview

Andong, inland in North Gyeongsang, was the heart of Joseon Confucian culture. Its treasure is Hahoe Folk Village, a still-inhabited World Heritage settlement where the Nakdong curls in an S-curve among thatched houses. Andong Mask Dance is Korea's only folk mask dance untouched by court tradition; Dosan and Byeongsan academies are also UNESCO-listed.
