Andong, Provincial capital in North Gyeongsang, South Korea.
Andong lies 215 miles from the Nakdong River mouth, with mountain ranges of Sobaek and Taebaek forming natural boundaries around the city.
The settlement originated in 57 BCE during the Three Kingdoms period and received its current name under the Goryeo dynasty between 935 and 1392.
The Hahoe Folk Village maintains traditional Korean structures, including ancestral residences, study halls, and agricultural lands that showcase Joseon Dynasty architecture.
The Andong Dam, constructed in 1976, supplies electricity to the region while the city hosts an annual folk festival each September.
Queen Elizabeth II selected this location to celebrate her 73rd birthday in 1999, leading to a permanent exhibition at the Hahoe Folk Village museum.
