Hahoe Folk Village, Traditional folk village in Andong, South Korea

The village contains numerous thatched-roof houses and noble residences arranged around a central area along the Nakdong River banks.

Founded in the 14th century by the Ryu clan of Pungsan, Hahoe Folk Village maintains its original structures from the Joseon Dynasty period.

The village preserves traditional Korean mask dance performances, known as Hahoe Byeolsin Gut, reflecting local rituals and community celebrations.

Visitors can reach the village by taking regular buses from Andong Bus Terminal, with guided tours available in multiple languages throughout the day.

A 650-year-old zelkova tree called Samsindan stands in the village, where people attach written wishes according to Korean shamanic traditions.
