This past weekend Rob and myself found our way two hours south of Taebaek in a city by the name of Andong. There is a lot to see in Andong, if you ever get the chance to go, and one weekend is just not enough time.
We chose to go to HaHoe Mask Museum and Village. Hahoe Village is a village with traditional thatched and tile roof houses that people still live in. The people are generous enough to let tourists through, though I'm sure they make a pretty penny in souvenir shops and bed and breakfasts. According to my visitors pamphlet the word Ha means river and the word Hoe means turning around. Indeed, the Nakdong river holds this village in the crook of it's arm. There is also a beautiful cliff nearby called Byongdae Cliff that overlooks a sand beach across the blue-green river.
Some other interesting things we saw were a playground with traditional games, and a 600 year old tree that is home for the Goddess Samsin.
Andong is also famous for it's 40% Soju and a chicken dish called Jim Dalk.
Both delicious.
