The Hwacheon Sancheoneo Ice Festival is held in a small village and is a world-class festival tourist attraction

 

This small village located in the mountains has been transformed into a world center of attention with its winter festival which is always enlivened by more than 1 million visitors each year.

According to the Hwacheon County Government on Sunday, the Hwacheon Sancheoneo Ice Festival has been introduced to one of the US television channels, ABC, at the "World News Now" program. The event is one of 138 news events in 34 countries promoting the Hwacheon Sancheoneo Ice Festival.

Last year, Singapore-based television channel News Asia also introduced the festival in one of its programs, "One in a Million", as the festival was reviewed 109 times on news programs in 24 countries. Hwacheon, which is located in Gangwon Province, is known as the city of ice. With a population of only 25,000, this area is located right next to the North Korean border.

More than 90 percent of the geographical conditions of this area are mountains and rivers or lakes, while the population occupies only 3% of the total area of ​​this area. Given its proximity to North Korea, this area tends to be like a military city, so the government has prohibited any development or expansion. Just a 20-minute walk allows visitors to tour the entire "downtown" area of ​​this area.

Soldiers who are on vacation or soldiers visited by relatives are arguably the only things that "turn on" the only area in South Korea that does not have a four-lane road. Political and geographic conditions require local residents to make a living directly through nature.

Even so, this area is not only blessed with mountains that offer a very beautiful view in summer, but also rivers that freeze in winter, making it suitable as a unique tourist destination.

The Hwacheon Sancheoneo Ice Festival is held around the Hwacheon Cheon Stream or natural habitat for trout and otters. One of the most popular programs at the festival is fishing on frozen rivers. Interestingly you can try to catch fish with your bare hands.

Take the opportunity to experience a unique Korean winter festival in celebration of the Mountain Trout, Hwacheon Sancheoneo festival! Follow the local residents for their annual pilgrimage to the hilly countryside far from the city. Punch holes in the hard ice and fish for fresh fish as part of this hundred-year tradition. When you get the catch, cook it up to eat in the festival kitchen.

After that, spend some time trying out the various ice activities on offer such as sledding, bobsled, ice soccer, ice sculpting and many more winter fun. No need to worry, as it includes transportation to and from the festival, this activity is highly recommended for anyone looking to venture beyond the city and gain a unique insight into Korean culture.

To ensure that visitors can catch and taste fresh fish catches, there are several organizers who are ready to help you at this festival.

Gerakan silhak pada dinasti joseon di korea selatan

Sejak awal abad 17, sebuah gerakan yang menganjurkan Silhak, atau pembelajaran mengenai hal-hal praktis, memperoleh momentum yang cukup banyak diantara cendekiawan-pejabat yang berpikiran liberal sebagai alat untuk membangun suatu bangsa yang modern. Mereka sangat menganjurkan dilaksanakannya perbaikan-perbaikan dalam bidang pertanian dan industri, sejalan dengan dilakukannya reformasi-reformasi menyeluruh dalam hal pembagian tanah. Namun bagaimanapun juga, para bangsawan dari pemerintahan yang konservatif belum siap untuk melakukan perubahan yang sedrastis itu. Pada paruh kedua masa pemerintahan Dinasti Joseon, administrasi pemerintahan dan kaum kelas atas ditandai oleh faksionalisme atau pembentukan golongan-golongan yang muncul berulang-ulang. Untuk membereskan situasi politik yang tidak diinginkan, Raja Yeongjo (1724-1776) akhirnya mengambil kebijakan yang tidak berpihak. Dengan demikian ia mampu memperkuat kembali kewenangan Raja dan menciptakan stabilitas po

Silhak movement in the Joseon Dynasty in South Korea

Since the beginning of the 17th century, a movement that advocated Silhak, or learning about practical matters, gained considerable momentum among liberal-minded scholars as a tool for building a modern nation. They strongly advocate for improvements in agriculture and industry, in line with comprehensive reforms in terms of land distribution. However, the nobles of conservative governments were not ready to make such drastic changes. In the second half of the Joseon Dynasty, the administration of government and the upper classes was marked by factionalism or the formation of groups which appeared repeatedly. To clear up the unwanted political situation, King Yeongjo (1724-1776) finally adopted an impartial policy. Thus he was able to strengthen the authority of the King and create political stability. King Jeongjo (1776-1800) succeeded in maintaining impartial politics and established a royal library to store royal documents and records. Ian also initiated othe
