โ๏ธHwacheon Sancheoneo Ice Festivalโ๏ธ
Under the ice, half is Sancheoneo and the other half is water, above the ice, the half is filled with people and the
other half is the ice. On CNN, they have depicted this very festival as the seven wonders of the world. In 2019,
on the first day of the festival, 140,000 tourists had gathered.
14,000 ice holes within Sancheoneo
As the Hwacheon Sancheoneo Ice Festival has been successfully held for the last 16 years, you can
sense the expertise of the festival by the smooth flow of traffic in the city Hwacheon. Though 140,000 people
gathered on the very first day of the festival, they did not have traffic or parking problems. You can drive smoothly through
the city and swiftly park your car next to the festival site, where you can easily stroll down to the Hwacheon stream.
The vast festival site, reaching over 1.8km, can be separated into three parts; snow zone, stream zone, and city center culture
experiencing zone. Regarding the size of the area, it is recommended to confirm your schedule in advance based on which part
you would want to explore
After preparing rather a thorough schedule, you will be entering the fishing spots. Each hole is aligned
with 3-4m of the gap, featuring the scene of passionate fishers occupying each hole.
Each one of them is luring fishes while their fishing rods are swooping up and down. From place to place,
people start hooking up fish, cheered up with joy and happiness. You may gaze at them with envious eyes and, yet,
your fish rod would show the sign of the fish, sensing the heavy and strong shake within your hands.
There, you have your fish, your very own Sancheoneo.
The best delicacy of the Winter and exciting activities
You now have your fish, it’s time to try them! You can try them in lots of different ways, yet, the most
recommended way is to try it as sashimi first while it’s fresh and then get it grilled with what is left.
At the festival site, there are three places that provide slicing services for fresh sashimi. The cost is 2,000 won each
with the full concierge of drinks and beverages within extra charges.
