Day 1 - Time-Traveling Through Hahoe Folk Village
Our journey begins in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Hahoe Folk Village, where you can stroll through well-preserved Joseon Dynasty houses and breathe in the rustic charm of yesteryears.

As evening approaches, we'll shift gears and experience Andong's vibrant nightlife at the public market. Indulge in street food tasting - don't miss out on the famous Andong Soju, an authentic Korean rice wine.

Day 3 is all about embracing the natural beauty of Andong. We'll start the day with a scenic drive to Andong Dam, an imposing yet underappreciated gem. Its picturesque views will make you fall in love with nature all over again! Can you imagine the panoramic view from the dam's observation deck? In the afternoon, we'll saunter across the Woryeonggyo Bridge, the longest wooden bridge in Korea. It's an absolute fairy-tale walk especially at sunset. Wrap up the day with a hearty meal of Heotjesabap, a royal Korean cuisine known for its intriguing array of banchan or side dishes.
