UNESCO World Heritage · Hahoe Village (2010); Byeongsanseowon and Dosanseowon (2019)

Hahoe has been the home of the Pungsan Ryu clan for six centuries. The Nakdong River loops around the village, and tiled houses of the yangban stand among the thatched homes of the farmers. Downstream, Byeongsanseowon faces the cliffs from its long Mandaeru pavilion: one of the nine Confucian academies on the UNESCO list.

Daegu, the big city of the region, keeps its history in its alleys: the old Gyeongsang governor's office, the herbal medicine market, Gyesan Cathedral, and the Kim Gwang-seok Street of murals and songs.
