Overview

Imyeonjae Head House on Hyanggyo-dil, Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do, has been the home of the Heunghae Bae clan ever since Bae Sang-ji settled here around 1400. (The house is also known as Baekjuk Old House, memorialising the name of Bae’s consort.) The wooden walls, stairs and eves of Imyeonjae exude old-time hanok charm, and visitors will find a small reading room which has been a library ever since the house was built. Guestrooms are fitted with AC, while the shared bathrooms are modern and clean.

Best Time to Visit

South Korea has four distinct seasons. Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are the most popular times to visit. Summer brings humidity and occasional typhoons, while winter is cold but great for ski resorts and festivals.
