    A schematic of labels to look for, not a photograph of actual facility signage.

    Save the Korean name of Andong Station or the bus terminal and the first local stop. They are not interchangeable downtown labels, so include the connection to your accommodation or chosen heritage corridor.

    Look for 안동역 · 안동터미널 · 시내버스

  2. 2
    Choose the city or Hahoe as the day's anchorKeep Wolyeonggyo and central stops in one city route, or make Hahoe Village the main out-and-back trip.

    Keep Wolyeonggyo and central stops in one city route, or make Hahoe Village the main out-and-back trip. Do not attach every distant Confucian site to the same day.

After arrival

  1. 3
    Verify the current Hahoe bus in both directionsAndong's official tourism page publishes buses serving Hahoe and other major sites.

    Andong's official tourism page publishes buses serving Hahoe and other major sites. Check today's stop, destination display, interval and final useful return because route numbers and timetables can change.

  2. 4
    Add Byeongsan Seowon only with a working linkTreat the seowon as a separate extension.

    Treat the seowon as a separate extension. Confirm the current through bus, shuttle or legitimate taxi and the return before leaving Hahoe; otherwise keep the village visit complete on its own.

    Save the exact departure stop, direction and final useful connection to the station or terminal. Leave margin for walking, admission and traffic, and keep a Korean taxi destination as backup.

AVOID THESE MISTAKES

4 mistakes worth remembering.

Treating every Andong heritage site as one cluster.

Do this instead Choose the city, Hahoe or another outer corridor as the day's anchor.

Reading only the bus toward Hahoe.

Do this instead Confirm the final useful return before entering the village.

Assuming Hahoe and Byeongsan always connect smoothly.

Do this instead Verify today's through service, shuttle or taxi first.

Using an old bus number without checking the stop.

Do this instead Use Andong's current official transport page and live stop information.

TRAVELER FAQ

Answers before you leave.

Can I visit Hahoe Village without a car?

Yes, when today's outward and return buses match your arrival. Make the village the main trip rather than one item in a scattered list.

Are Andong Station and the bus terminal together?

No. Route from the exact arrival building and include that connection again for departure.

Can I add Byeongsan Seowon?

Only after confirming a current bus, shuttle or taxi and the return. It should remain optional when the connection is weak.

Which bus number should I save?

Do not preserve one number as timeless. Andong publishes current major-attraction routes; verify the stop and direction on the travel day.

What is the safest simple itinerary?

Choose one city cluster or one Hahoe out-and-back corridor, then protect the station or terminal return before adding anything else.
