Andong
Andong is a city in North Gyeongsang province in south-eastern South Korea, on the upper Nakdong River. In 1361, when Red Turban rebels from China took the Goryeo capital Kaegyong, King Gongmin took refuge there. Under Joseon it became a stronghold of Confucian scholarship, and its Hahoe Folk Village and Dosan Seowon academy are UNESCO World Heritage properties.
