As the cool autumn breeze settles in September, it's the perfect time to enjoy a tranquil walk in line with traditional aesthetics. Buyongdae, located in the Pungcheon-myeon of Andong City, offers a stunning panoramic view of the UNESCO World Heritage site, Hahoe Village, embraced by the Nakdong River.
With no entrance or parking fees, Buyongdae is a popular destination for autumn outings during the September holidays and weekends. Here are four key attractions of Buyongdae that let you savor the unique charm of Andong under the refreshing autumn sky.
Free admission and parking, a 10-minute stroll through a pine forest
The first charm of Buyongdae is that both the entrance and parking are free, making it an economical choice for autumn travel. The spacious dedicated parking area makes it very convenient for visitors.
Starting from the parking lot, a light 10-minute walk along the lush pine forest trail leads you to the summit of the rocky cliff. The gentle slope allows for a comfortable walk suitable for everyone, from children to parents.
Stunning panoramic view of Hahoe Village from a 64m high cliff
The second highlight is the unique panoramic view from the summit of the 64m high rocky cliff. The meandering Nakdong River, fertile fields, and serene tiled roofs come together to create a breathtaking landscape.
Especially in September, the clear autumn sunshine casts a beautiful light over the entire Hahoe Village, offering a picturesque scene that is hard to find elsewhere. Capturing a photo with the village as a backdrop from the cliff's edge will surely yield a stunning shot.
Experience the historical charm of Hwachun Seowon and a traditional ferry ride
The third attraction is the Joseon Dynasty-era Hwachun Seowon and Okyeonjeongsa, located below the cliff, along with the opportunity to experience a traditional ferry ride. Enjoying a cup of coffee in the tranquil courtyard of the seowon while appreciating the beauty of the old house is a delightful experience.
Taking the simple ferry that crosses between Hahoe Village and Buyongdae allows for a unique perspective, looking up at the entire cliff from the water. This offers a special experience as you feel the cool autumn breeze and the river's gentle wind.
A perfect day trip itinerary connecting to Byeongsan Seowon, just a 10-minute drive away
The final point is the proximity to other world heritage sites and local delicacies, making it easy to create a fulfilling day trip itinerary. A short 10-minute drive connects you directly to Byeongsan Seowon, a masterpiece of seowon architecture, and Hahoe Village.
After your tour, enjoying Andong's famous jjimdak or grilled mackerel will perfectly wrap up your autumn outing. In September, when the refreshing autumn air is present, head to Andong Buyongdae for an enriching experience at no cost.
