Seoul to Andong: Private day trip

Often referred to as “the capital of Korean spirit”, Andong’s allure transcends national borders, as evidenced by Queen Elizabeth II’s visit in 1999 after being told it was the “most Korean place in Korea”. The revered Andong Hahoe Folk Village, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010, is a sprawling village in Andong that showcases an intriguing coexistence of commoners and nobles from Korea’s Goryeo period. Another remarkable landmark is the Bongjeongsa Temple, the largest temple in Andong. Its architectural marvel includes the second oldest wooden building in Korea. One cannot talk about Andong without mentioning its mouthwatering culinary offerings, such as the famed jjimdak, a delectable spicy chicken dish. A journey to Andong is a journey through time, where history and traditions intertwine harmoniously. This city provides an escape from the modern world, inviting visitors to relish rural Korea and immerse themselves in the cultural treasures of the Joseon dynasty.
