- Hahoe Folk Village (the village core) — The living UNESCO village itself: a cluster of preserved hanok, narrow lanes, and working farms where families from the same Pungsan Ryu lineage still live — you’ll get the full slice-of-life feel here, not just a museum set.
- Buyongdae Cliff (부용대) — Classic postcard viewpoint across the river: a short climb to a rocky overlook that frames the village, river and surrounding hills perfectly at sunrise or late afternoon.
- Hahoe Mask Museum — Small but focused collection of traditional masks and masks’ history; great context before (or after) watching a live mask-dance performance.

- Hahoe Byeolsingut Talnori performance stage — Where the village’s famous mask-dance (an important intangible cultural heritage) is staged; catching a performance brings the place to life in a way photos can’t.
- Nakdong River boat ride around Hahoe — A short river cruise that lets you view the village from the water; helps you appreciate the village’s horseshoe bend setting and makes for calm, memorable photos.
- Pungsan Ryu clan houses and ancestral shrines — A group of well-preserved yangban (scholar-official) residences and shrines open to visitors; they show how elite Joseon families lived and maintained lineage rituals.
- Thatched-roof quarter and village lanes — Wander the lanes where thatched roofs, stone walls and small courtyards remain; it’s low-key and intimate — best for people who like wandering rather than ticking boxes.
- Local craft and mask-making workshops — Small studios run by local artisans where you can watch (and sometimes try) mask-making, woodcraft or traditional paper work — authentic, hands-on souvenirs and a real connection to local skills.
- Open hanok house museums and household displays — Several homes in the village let you step inside and see original interiors, furniture and farming implements — much better than reading signs from a distance.
- Homestays / overnight hanok experience — Staying a night in a hanok here changes the vibe: lantern-lit lanes, morning mist on the river and a quieter village rhythm are why many people linger.
