Korea / Southeastern Region / Pusan
One
of the last living vestiges of old Korea, a treasure-trove of
Confucian tradition. Hahoe is a small village near Andong, with
a delightful blend of thatched-roof peasant houses and tiled-roof
yangban villas.
Hahoe has been designated by the government as a Historic Preservation Site. The village is known for a special form of mask dance drama, Hahoe T'alch'um, and is the site of a famous shamanistic ceremony.
Tosan-sowon, a Confucian academy founded by the scholar Yi Hwang
(styled T'oegye) in the 16th century, is also nearby.
The total population of Brunei Darussalam is about 400,000 of which around 150,000 live in the capital Bandar Seri Begawan.
