Tourism
editAndong Station serves as a key hub for tourists visiting nearby attractions like Hahoe Folk Village and the Andong Soju Museum.[2]
History
editRecently, a wildfire in Uiseong caused disruptions to railway services between Andong and Gyeongju. As a result, trains heading south from Andong stopped at the station, while those heading north stopped at Gyeongju Station. Korail operated replacement buses.[3]
