Queen Elizabeth II visited Hahoe Maul in 1999, bringing the global attention to the little but beautiful village where Korean traditional houses are preserved. The queen's visit also indirectly stimulated the public interest in Andong, a city where the village is located. Andong has long been famous as the mecca for Confucianism. With more and more tourists from both at home and abroad visiting the city, there has arisen a need for a guidebook about the city's cultural and historical background as well as tourists' haunts. So, this is the first English book about Andong, a city that can even compete with Gyeongju in its influence upon the Koreans' status quo. Maps of major tour places, Internet sites on Andong, and other useful information like admission fee and visiting time schedule are provided. Those who visit Andong and Hahoe Maul in September and October will be able to enjoy many folklore festivals.
