This delightful traditional riverside village – a Unesco World Heritage site – is a place to commune with the traditional fabric of old Korea and, in the busy months, with large crowds of visitors. Avoid the weekends, go off-season and be rewarded with a glimpse of bucolic enchantment and the gentle rhythms of countryside village life.

Buyongdae
Buyongdae is a cliff about 64 meters high situated where the Taebaeksan Mountain Range ends. From the summit, one can get a bird’s-eye-view of Hahoe Village in Andong. The name was taken from an ancient history of China. Meaning lotus, the name Buyongdae is said to be given for Hahoe Village’s configuration like a lotus flower. Thus, one can get the best view of the village from the cliff. Located near Buyongdae are Ogyeonjeongsa House, Gyeomamjeongsa House, and Hwacheon Seowon Academy.

Byeongsan Seowon
Byeongsanseowon is a Confucian school that was established by esteemed Confucian scholars to pay tribute to the memory of Seong-nyong Yu (1542-1607), who was well-respected for his writings and personality. His mortuary tablet is enshrined at this school. Around the time of 1863, Confucian schools enjoyed many freedoms under the Joseon rule, students and scholars of the school were exempt from taxation and other expenses. Byeongsan Seowon was one of 47 places in all of Korea and 2 in Andong not destroyed during the rule of Daewongun [Politician of Joseon Imperial family, 1820 ~ 1898] in 1868.

The Nakdong-gang River is situated just in front of the Confucian Academy. Cross the river and the Byeongsan Mountain can be found. By forming a folding screen like shape around the academy, the mountains both protect and add a serene beauty to the area.

Superb tour and amazing guide
Nenita2014, 16-10-2022
We had an amazing tour with Mr. Benny Kim! He was such a professional and an amazing tour guide. He picked us up early, drove well, and took us to a nice local restaurant in Andong and the best spots in Hahoe village and Byeongsan-Seowon. He also took a lot of great photos of us and answered so many of my questions. It was a really long drive from Seoul but he made it easy and fun. We had a lot of great conversations with him and I feel like I got to know him and Korea better through this tour. I couldn’t recommend him enough. Thank you so much for taking us around in Andong!
The journey and climb are worth it!

the Guide was very knowledgeable and explained property about the whole village
I couldn't believe that people are still living there, they maintained the village pretty good, winter season will be tough for them to move around though, i definitely recommend this trip
Great day trip!

Guide was punctual on arrival and extremely initiative in reaching out to contact us prior to the trip (e.g. hotel pickup, days to avoid traffic etc). A great and safe driver, the journey was smooth and enjoyable. He is also well-versed in English and is knowledgeable about Korean history and culture. The place we visited was scenic and beautiful, definitely worth a visit! Plus point: the guide takes really nice photos and he will send it to you promptly after the trip:) Will definitely contact Outdoors Korea for future trips.
Great tour!
