Manhyujeong Pavilion Visitor Guide — Location, History & Features

Manhyujeong Pavilion is the pavilion of Bobaekdang Kim Gye-haeng and was built in 1500. The present building shows a modified appearance through remodeling, and only a part shows the style of the late Joseon dynasty. Kim Gye-haeng was a civil servant in the early Joseon dynasty and held various government posts. However, when he met the tyranny of Yeonsangun, he abandoned the government post and returned to his hometown. After that, a small pavilion was built along Seolmot (currently Sosan 2-ri), but since it was next to the road, he built Manhyujeong Pavilion in a quieter place. If you cross the stream from Mukgyeseowon Confucian Academy and enter the mountain, you can find it located in a magnificent valley that faces southeast and has a waterfall flowing over the rocks.◎ Travel information to meet Hallyu’s charm - variety show"I Am Solo"This is another famous site in Andong that was featured in Season 16 of “I Am Solo.” The Manhyujeong pavilion, which awaits visitors alone in a peaceful forest, and the log bridge, which is the only path leading to the pavilion, seem to represent the participants' feelings.

Why Manhyujeong Pavilion matters

Manhyujeong Pavilion's Enduring Charm

Manhyujeong Pavilion, meaning ' Pavilion of Ten Thousand Joys,' was constructed during the Joseon period. It served as a scholarly retreat and a place of repose for officials and intellectuals.

Unlike more popular tourist destinations, Manhyujeong Pavilion retains a sense of seclusion. Its location deep within a Gyeongsangbuk-do valley means fewer crowds, even during peak seasons.

The approach to the pavilion is itself an integral part of its charm. A narrow, unassuming stone bridge spans the stream, leading directly to the pavilion's entrance.

The best time to visit Manhyujeong Pavilion for its visual splendor is undoubtedly autumn, typically from late October to early November, when the foliage is at its peak. However, its natural beauty is present year-round, offering a more subdued charm in other seasons. Consider visiting on a weekday or early in the morning to ensure the most peaceful experience, as its popularity has grown.
