We APLs are very lucky as we have an opportunity to visit Hahoe village in Andong.
Hahoe village is
a Korean traditional village and is especially well known as the birth place of
Ryu family who have lived together for 600 years. It is a place where
tile-roofed and straw-roofed houses have been quite well preserved for a long
time. Hahoe has conserved the Byeolsingut Mask Dance Play performed by the
general public. Many other cultural heritages can also be founded there. We had
the chance to try making the Korean traditional paper mask ourselves, with a
very reasonable charge. It was really a fresh new experience for us, and the
mask was brought back as a memorial souvenir.

We just had a short tour around Hahoe Village due to short of time as we have to rush back to KNU before 6pm. Overall, the field trip to Andong Village is a fruitful one, as it is very much full of historical values of Korea! =)
