Weolyeonggyo Bridge

Gyeongsangbuk-do


The longest pedestrian-only bridge in South Korea, this 387m-long partly wooden bridge spanning the Nakdong River is a good-looking crossing point to the Andong Folklore Museum on the far side of the water. The name means ‘Moonlight Bridge'; a pavilion can be found along its length for admiring the views.
