Hahoe Mask Museum

Wooden masks used in Hahoe Pyolshin-Gut T’al-nori (Hahoe Mask Dance Drama) are made of the alder tree. They were first made in the middle period of the Korea dynasty by Huh doryong. There were originally fourteen of these treasured Masks. Three of these (Chongak [Bridegroom], Byulchae and Ttuckdari-t’al) were lost. Eleven (Imae, Ch’oraengi, Kakshi, Chuji, Paekchong, Halmi, Chung, Yangban, Sonbi and Pune,) have been designated as National Treasure. The distinctive characteristics of the Hahoe masks are of formative beauty. Fixed features of the Masks convey the expressions of joyful and pleasant feelings, and of the angry and grievous emotion.

Andong Hahoe Folk Village

Hahoe is the village where the members of Ryu family which originated from Hahoe Village have lived together for 600 years. The village was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2010.

The reason for the village name Hahoe(Ha means a river and Hoe means turning around) was that the Nakdong River flows around the village in an S shape.

Hahoe Village has conserved Hahoe Byeolsingut Mask Dance Play performed by the public in general, and Seonyujulbul Nori-a boat ride and fire play enjoyed by the nobility called Yangban. The village conserves many cultural heritages which show Korean traditional living cultures and ancient architectural styles.

Bongjeongsa Temple

UNESCO World Heritage Site Temple

This place, which has the oldest wooden building in Korea, is a place of pride for all of us, and it is also a place where anyone can come to Bongjeongsa Temple and forget all the fatigue of body and mind, and climb while breathing in the fresh air to their heart’s content.

In February 2000, during the roof repair work of Daeungjeon, a ridgepole inscription confirming the founding year of the temple and an ink inscription indicating that it was made in the late Goryeo Dynasty were discovered on a wooden Buddhist altar inside Daeungjeon.

Andong Folk Museum

It was opened on June 26, 1992. The purpose of its establishment was to investigate, research, preserve, and exhibit the folk culture of the Andong cultural sphere, thereby providing a place for social education for the people and a place for citizens to relax, and to help them understand local culture correctly. It exhibits materials on the history of the Andong region, as well as customs such as weddings, funerals, and traditional games.

Wolyeonggyo Bridge

The moon that came down from the sky and floated on the river and penetrated our hearts, the tender moonlight awakens forgotten dreams and becomes the moonlight of the lake again, trying to remain as a beautiful memory. Wolyeonggyo is a sculpture that reveals this natural scenery, but more than that, it wanted to commemorate the beautiful and sublime love of the Lee Eung-tae couple who lived in this area for a long time. The shape of a pair of Mituri made with the wife’s hair for her husband who passed away was included in the shape of this bridge. In order to continue their beautiful and sorrowful love forever, we built this bridge today and climbed on it to sublimate the moonlight of their sublime love into our love and dreams.

Dosanseowon Confucian School

Dosanseowon was built to admire and memory the scholarship and virtue of Toegye Leehwang. Its buildings are decorated neatly and simply, which properly reflects his attitude and personality as a scholar.

Dosanseodang was built in 1561 and the oldest building in it. It is said to be designed by him and the purpose was to cultivate his followers and pursue studies after he retired into country.

Dosanseowon is consist of shrine space and attached building centering main educational facility on it. The whole educational facility is arranged with bisymmetry centering Jindomun which is a gate and Jeongyodang situated in the middle on it.

“Engaging and informative guide”

Peter is knowledgeable, personable and gave us a wonderful overview of both Silla cultural sites and the related, evolving archeological research shedding light into that period of Korea's history. When asked for more in-depth detail, he was able to give insights beyond that layed out at the various sites. Furthermore, when our conversation moved to life in 21stC S. Korea, Peter was a wealth of information which he passed on with a good mixture of serious discussion and approriate humor. Peter has a versatile background and thus can address a wide range of topics from economics to history. He also is quite accommodating; we had requested that we spend more time walking than driving which he suceeded in accomplishing ( more than 13km of walking during the 8 hrs together). All-in-all, We had a wonderful experience and would recommend Peter highly.

Peter J.

Thank you very much for your kind review. I also had a great time with you and Anne. And I was very impressed to meet a person working in one of the famous national park and it was fun to hear all about the story from you. Always good luck to you and Anne. Best regards Peter.

“Extra money well spent”

Peter was very accommodating when I booked Pohang tour, but also asked to go to Gyeoungju. It did cost a little more, but was well worth the extra cost for the tour that we got. Thank you Peter!
