Manhyujeong Pavilion
만휴정
A Joseon-era pavilion above a valley waterfall, reached by a narrow wooden footbridge. It became a hot spot after the Korean drama "Mr. Sunshine" was filmed here.
Manhyujeong was built around 1500 by the Joseon scholar-official Kim Gye-haeng, who used it as a place to retire and study in his later years. Together with the surrounding valley rocks, it forms the Manhyujeong Garden, which is designated a national scenic site. The pavilion is built above a waterfall in Mukgye Valley, and visitors must cross a narrow wooden plank bridge to reach it. The combination of mountains, water and the ancient pavilion makes for beautiful compositions. In 2018, scenes of the male and female leads on the bridge in the Korean drama "Mr. Sunshine" turned the site into a social media hotspot, and on weekends you may have to queue for photos. Admission is free. It is a 10-minute uphill walk from the parking lot. The site is located about 30 kilometers southeast of downtown Andong, in Gilan-myeon. Public transportation is limited, so a car or chartered vehicle is recommended, and it is best to plan half a day for it.
