Andong City's Hahoe Village and Gyeongju City's Yangdong village, which are the two most representative historic clan villages in Korea, were registered on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list on Saturday. The listing of Hahoe and Yangdong is the 10th for Korea on the UNESCO list.
The World Heritage Committee (WHC) met in Brasilia, Brazil to review candidates for inclusion on its World Heritage List and announced that those two villages were to be added, praising them as places that provide both physical and spiritual nourishment.
