Andong - living memory of Korea
Andong exudes history
It is a city where time seems to pass more slowly, where every stone and every tiled roof tells the story of Korea's past.
At dawn, mist stretches across the Nakdong River, and the Woryeonggyo Bridge appears like calligraphy on the water.
Its name, which means “eternal love,” comes from a legend about a faithful woman who waited for her missing husband until the end of her days.
Crossing this bridge is like walking on a poem—between water and sky, between loyalty and memory.
Not far from there, the folk village of Hahoe seems suspended in another era.
Its hanoks with curved roofs sleep peacefully under the pine trees, and the wind still carries the echoes of masked dances, laughter, and songs of yesteryear.
It is a place that exudes harmony: between man and nature, between tradition and simplicity.
In Andong, everything invites contemplation.
You stroll gently, observe, listen.
And when the sun sets behind the hills, the city glows with a golden light, as if it wanted, once again, to hold back time.
