[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] “Strolling under the moonlight!” A variety of attractions are pouring out for tourists visiting Wolyeonggyo Bridge during the premium festival of Andong, ‘Wolyeong Night Walk,’ which allows visitors to enjoy culture while wandering at night, as well as during the vacation season.


The Andong City Museum will extend its visiting hours, the Wolyeonggyo Bridge fountain, and the media facade show ‘Imaginary Fairy Tale’ in phases from July 28 to August 7.


The closing time of the Andong Folk Museum will be extended by one hour from 6 PM to 7 PM for four days from July 28 to 31, during the Wolyeong Night Walk period.


As Gyeongbuk’s first public museum, the Andong Folk Museum has been collecting and exhibiting Andong’s history and folk materials for 30 years since its opening in 1992. Recently, it developed and introduced a smart guide app equipped with a voice narration feature to make the exhibitions easily accessible to everyone.


The Wolyeonggyo Bridge fountain will also operate two additional shows at 7 PM and 9 PM during the Wolyeong Night Walk period, in addition to the usual four times.


The colorful lighting of Wolyeonggyo Bridge combined with the fountain’s spectacle delivers great impressions to tourists visiting the bridge at night.


The night view of Wolyeonggyo Bridge, harmonizing with Seonseonghyeon Guesthouse in the direction of the folk village, offers memories of midsummer nights. Outside this period, the fountain operates daily at noon, 2 PM, 6 PM, and 8 PM until September.


The media facade show ‘Imaginary Fairy Tale,’ which was only screened at 8 PM every Friday and Saturday, will be shown daily from July 29 to August 7.


The media facade show, projected on the entire front exterior wall of the Andong Folk Museum, has become a representative attraction around Wolyeonggyo Bridge, gaining popularity among citizens and tourists since its launch.


The ‘Egg Fire Play Experience,’ where visitors write wishes and release them, is popular as a nighttime date spot for couples.



An official from the Andong City Museum said, “We hope the summer gift prepared by the city museum will bring comfort to tourists exhausted by COVID-19. We also hope it will remain a beautiful summer memory for tourists and become an opportunity for them to visit Andong again.”
