Dosanseowon Confucian School is a bit more difficult to access than other tourist sites, but it is well worth the trip. From the parking lot and ticket office, it is a short walk down a dirt path. It is situated by the lake and has many benches perfect for sitting and soaking in nature. Inside the school there are signs in several languages identifying the buildings and giving important facts regarding the history of the school.

This is such a great spot for all members of the family. I recommend arriving 1-2 hours before sunset. Take a walk around to see the different perspectives of this wonderful bridge. The museum and folk village are nearby. You can make a full day of it here. There are few cafes and restaurants nearby you can rest at, eat, and wait until after sundown to see it all lit up. It is truly beautiful in the day and at night. I recommend not parking at the first main parking lot, but follow the road around to the secondary parking areas or park near the museum. The history and naming are posted in my pictures.

UNESCO is a recognized site in South Korea. Korean village is settled here with lots of traditional houses. One of the most amazing places I have visited in Korea so far. It was a beautiful, rural village that is not only a tourist attraction but people still live and work there. I was there on the first week of January and it was quite crowded. The entrance fee was charged 5000 WON, which included entry to see the Mask Museum and the Mask Dance Performance. I found the mask dance to be quite captivating and fascinating, I would really recommend the mask dance, must see the village next to the walkway and the green rice plant surrounded by the river. You may need a full day to explore this village as there are many hidden places that you can remember. It was a great experience for me.
6. Hahoe Mask Museum

Interesting museum that displays masks from all over the world. Masks are worn for different events, ceremonies, etc. Majority of displays have Hangul/English translations. Hahoe Village is a site of the folk tale regarding the masks. Take time to learn about the tale. Recommend stopping by to see the museum before or after your trip to Hahoe Folk Village. The museum has a small cafe that offers sweets and drinks. They also have a great gift shop if you would like to take a treasure home.

If the weather is nice this is a good place to wander around looking at homes, houses and other buildings moved here. Its just about walkable from Andong. Some shops, some food outlets, more across the bridge and plenty of toilets.
