Andong Discount Bookings with Accommodation South Korea

We chose to visit Andong mainly to visit Hahoe hill village but decided to spend an extra night there to see the Andong folk village and the surrounding areas, as well as the Soju museum and the restaurants located more centrally. It is a large city by area and on reflection, it may have been useful to have a car, however, the taxis were very reasonably priced through NAVER and also reliable, which made getting between the often spread out tourist attractions relatively easy.

Andong itself doesn't really have any major tourist attractions, it's a place to sleep before or after visiting Hahoe folk village. It's a calm, pleasant city to spend a day or even two though,

We will only able to see some of the sights we planned to see because of transport difficulties. Some of the sites were more than an hour by bus from our hotel. Also, one of the sites, Imcheonggak House was under renovation and we could not visit. The chief attraction is the Andong Hahoe Folk Village and the adjacent Mask Museum. For those of you who are interested in soju, there is a Soju and Traditional Korean Food museum.

Andong is a bit of a smaller city, but its motto is the "Cultural Center of Korea," so that gives you some idea of what it has to offer. It has some famous attractions like Hahoe Village, the light-up bridge, and a musical fountain that's worth seeing at night. It has a good choice of restaurants, and though unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to eat Andong's famous Jjindak dish, there were plenty of restaurants offering this choice along Restaurant Alley. The city bus in Andong is very easy to hop on and ride, and I recommend using Naver or Kakao Maps to get where you need to. It's a lovely city for a shorter trip, maybe a max of four to five days, to see everything this city has to offer.

Andong is a small city that is a breath of fresh air and change of pace from the larger cities. We visited the folk village, a very nice temple with well kept gardens, and a bath house. Outside of downtown the towns are small, but of course they all have great food and noraebangs. The major downside is the bus schedule, outside of downtown buses are infrequent and stop running before 8PM. Taxis may or may not be willing to take you to further destinations, and you may or may not be willing to pay to get as far as you might need to go.

Wonderful place if you are really interested in traditional Korean culture, both local (folk mask dance in Ha Hoe village, the old village itself, old streets with picturesque houses, wooden bridge, fine local food) and universal (Confucian academies and schools, Confucian prints museum, Buddhist temples, Catholic church),
