Information

Andong Hahoe Village
This is village whose main habitants are of the Pungsan 'Ryu' clan. It is called 'Hahoe' because the Nakdong River flows around the village in an S-shape. The village is set in a scene of unsurpassed beauty. Three mountains and a dense pine forest encircle it like folding screens. The Nakdong River flows smoothly by, bordered by sandy beaches. Overhead rears
the strange rock shapes of Puyongdae cliff.

Bongjeongsa Temple(Taejang- Ri, Seohu-Myeon, Andong)
In the 12th year of the reign of King Munmu of the Shilla Dynasty(672), Monk Uisang flew a paper Chinese phoenix to the sky from Buseoksa Temple there is a legend that the temple was constructed on the site where this paper Chinese phoenix was placed, and was called Bongjeongsa Temple. It contains many cultural properties such as Geukrakjeon, the oldest wooden building in Korea, and Daeungjeon, Hwaeomgangdang and Gogeumdang constructed during the Joseon Dynasty, an important material for architectural research. Also here is a three-story pagoda, Deokhwiru and Yosachae, and several small Buddhist temples such as Yeungsanam and Chijoam.

ByeongSan SeoWon (Byeongsan Conficion School)
Byeongsan Seowon is a Confucian school that was established by esteemed Confucian scholars to pay tribute to the memory of Ryu Seongryong(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 River is situated just in front of the Confucian school. Cross the river and the Byeongsan Mountain can be found. By forming a folding screen like shape around the school, the mountains both protect and add a serene beauty to the area.
