👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Honey Tip!
The village is very large, so I recommend renting an electric cart at the entrance. The kids will love it, and it makes touring much more comfortable for the parents. Don't forget to go up to Buyongdae Cliff to take in the panoramic view of Hahoe Village!

🌶️ Spiciness Tip!
If you're eating with children, it's a good idea to request, "Please make it mild for the kids," or "Please serve the spicy sauce on the side." Finishing with 'Jjimdak bokkeumbap' (fried rice in the leftover sauce) is an absolute must!

Travel to Accommodation & Rest: Move to your accommodation in the downtown area or near Wollyeonggyo Bridge to wrap up the first day.

On the second day, absorb the scholarly spirit at Dosan Seowon, where academics and nature harmonize. In the evening, enjoy a healing experience by admiring the fantastic night view at Andong's landmark, Wollyeonggyo Bridge.

1. The Spirit of Toegye Yi Hwang, Dosan Seowon
Nestled on the quiet banks of the Nakdong River, Dosan Seowon is a place that soothes the soul with its beautiful architecture and natural scenery. Let your children walk through a place they've only seen in textbooks as you share stories of its history. The serene academy, surrounded by mountain ranges like a folding screen, offers a perfect healing experience.

Wollyeonggyo Bridge is what makes Andong's nights so beautiful. When the sun sets, the bridge lights up, creating a romantic atmosphere.

🌙 Night View Tip!
To truly enjoy the night view of Wollyeonggyo, I highly recommend taking a ride on a 'Moon Boat'. Floating gently on the river in a crescent-shaped boat and looking at the bridge will create an unforgettable memory. (Advance booking is recommended).

Manhyujeong means "a rest from ten thousand autumns." The single-log bridge over the waterfall is the signature photo spot here. Take an amazing picture as if you were the star of the drama. The lush forest and the sound of the cool waterfall come together to create the best healing spot to soothe the bittersweet feeling of the last day.

📸 Photo Tip!
On weekends, the line to take a photo on the single-log bridge can be long. I recommend visiting right at opening time. It can be slippery, so please hold your children's hands when they cross.
