Andong Gunja Village, established 600 years ago, was relocated 2 kilometers from its original site due to submergence during the construction of Andong Dam. The village's tradtional houses and pavilions were meticulously moved to preserve their historic value. Known as Gunja Village, it derives its name from a remark by the Joseon-era civil servant Jeong Gu, who noted, "There is no one in the village who is not a Gunja (gentleman)". The village is home to over 20 ancient houses, including the Hujodang Head House and Takcheongjeong Pavilion, maintained in their original state. Moreover, the village archives over 1,000 documents detailing adoption, property ownership, and labor distribution.

Mukgyeseowon Confucian Academy was founded in 1687, but was mostly destroyed in 1869, leaving just the lecture hall behind. Recently, these removed buildings have slowly been rebuilt to restore the academy to its former glory.

Mukgye Head House of the Andong Kim Clan is located near the Confucian academy and features a shrine to Bobaekdang, the founder of the academy. The house was built in a square shape with an open courtyard in the middle and has been maintained in good condition.

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.

Bongjeongsa Temple is believed to have been built in 672 by the Great Buddist Monk Uisang. However, other documents seem to state that Neungin Daedeuk, a disciple of Monk Uisang, established the temple. During the Korean War, many documents related to the temple were destroyed, so much of the history has been lost. In 1972, while reconstruction work was being done on Geungnakjeon Hall, records were discovered stating the hall was repaired in 1363. This discovery gave concrete evidence that Geungnakjeon Hall is the oldest wooden building in the nation.

Sunseong Susang-gil Waterway is a 1-kilometer-long floating pathway that connects Sunseonghyeon Culture Complex with Andong Lakeside Park. Because the pathway floats on the water, it rocks with each step one takes, creating the feeling of truly walking on water. At the halfway point of the waterway is an exhibition of black-and-white photos and materials from Yean Elementary School, lost to the formation of the lake following the construction of Andong Dam in 1974.
