Discover the early cultural heritage of Andong, a significant spiritual capital of Korea. On this day trip take in the stunning view from Buyongdae Cliff and visit the popular traditional houses of Hahoe Folk Village, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to descendants of the Ryu clan of Pungsan.
Aboard a comfortable coach from Seoul, head toward Andong's Hahoe Folk Village. Along the way you stop at the summit of Buyongdae Cliff, marking the end of Taebaek Mountains, for a spectacular view of Hahoe Folk Village. Buyongdae stands for ‘lotus’ as the village is said to resemble the shape of a lotus when seen from the top of the cliff.
Once you arrive at the UNESCO-listed Hahoe Folk Village, admire the many charming traditional houses of descendants of the Ryu clan of Pungsan. Here, learn about the interesting mask culture including the significance behind different designs and the history of mask dances before you visit the Hahoe Mask Museum.
