Hahoe Village in Andong is one of Korea’s most famous traditional folk villages, with the Nakdong River gracefully encircling it—hence its name, which means “river bends.” Home to the Pungsan Ryu clan for generations, the village preserves Joseon-era houses and Confucian traditions, and was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010. Notable sites include historic houses like Ipam Old House and Chunghyodang, and the Hahoe Mask Museum, which displays traditional masks including the iconic Hahoe Mask. The Hahoe Byeolsingut Mask Dance, a traditional masked performance, is one of the village’s cultural treasures. Visitors can also try traditional activities like shuttlecock kicking, top spinning, calligraphy, and cotton weaving, as well as enjoy regional specialties like Andong soju, heotjesatbap, salted mackerel, and noodles. Seasonal beauty ranges from spring cherry blossoms to fields of purple asters in autumn. Staying overnight in a traditional guesthouse offers a truly immersive experience in Korea’s cultural heritage.
