What it is

The Andong mask dance festival. A week of masked folk theatre in a UNESCO village.

안동 탈춤 축제, 유네스코 마을에서 일주일 탈춤.

Why go

Korea's oldest surviving folk comedy, and the village hasn't changed in 500 years.

How to

Late September to early October in Andong (KTX 2h from Seoul). The festival is free; village entry is ₩5,000. Overlaps Chuseok, so book trains early. Eat the salted mackerel.
