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.

One of the specialties during spring is Jjukkumi. This dish is a dish made from small octopus. Jjukkumi is a favorite in spring, because during this season the octopus is at its fullest and the head tastes delicious due to the abundance of eggs. The egg shape is almost the same size and color as rice, but tastier. Although they both come from octopus, according to their type, Jukkumi is usually processed into 2 dishes, namely Jjukkumi Samgyeopsal Bokkeum and Jjukkumi Shabu-shabu.
