Andong, South Korea
Andong has been the center of Korean Confucianism for centuries, and its Hahoe Folk Village — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — has been continuously inhabited by descendants of the original Joseon Dynasty yangban (aristocratic) families for over 600 years. The village, set in a dramatic loop of the Nakdong River, preserves the original social hierarchy in its architecture — tiled-roof yangban houses in the center, thatched commoner homes at the edges. The Hahoe Mask Dance Drama, performed since the 12th century, uses carved wooden masks to satirize the elite — a rare outlet for social criticism in Confucian society.
