[KOREA] 안동 ANDONG DAY TRIP

This place has been my top list of Korea travel since this city mentioned in every Korean book LOL if you learn korean using Yonsei or Sogang books you must be heard about this city which famous with Korean mask dance and also center of Korean culture. Finally this time i had chance to go there and suprisingly, even it's hard to use public transport but it's still interesting!

TRANSPORTATION IN ANDONG

 Andong is quite super small city, with super rare bus interval ( around 30mins- 1hour) so becareful and make sure to check bus timetable at bus stop a day before!

P.S :  I suggest you using train better from seoul since Andong Station located in the city center, compared to Andong bus terminal that located 30 minutes from city center.

MUST EAT ANDONG

Andong is super famous with 찜닭 jjimdak or Korean chicken stew and 간고등어kangodengo or Salted griled macarel. TOO BAD everything served in Big portion ( usually around ₩25000/ portion)

and since i was travelled alone i couldn't try this :( So make sure you visit andong together with friends since so many good stuffs waiting for you! and if you want to eat some Andong traditional specialities in one single place, visit their 음식거리골목 eumsilgorigolmok or food alley.
