Warm Clothe, A decent Hat, A refreshing Mind
I returned from an incredible 2-day adventure at the 금산인삼축제 (Geumsan Ginseng Festival), where I had the chance to dive deep into the rich culture of 금산 and history of Korean red ginseng. The festival was a sensory delight, where I had a chance to taste an array of ginseng-infused foods, juices, and candies, and even participating in an energetic K-pop contest....Harvesting ginseng was a unique hands-on experience, and walking across the breathtaking 월영산 출렁다리, a stunning suspended bridge, added an unforgettable thrill to my trip. I also visited the @kbs_achimmadang_official industry, where I learned about the meticulous production of original ginseng drinks and snacks. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the 금산 municipal government and the festival management committee for their dedication in organizing such a fantastic event. Special thanks to our amazing coordinators and the 아침마당 owner for their generosity and for making this experience truly remarkable. The beauty and warmth of the people of 금산 will always hold a special place in my heart!
You will get tremendous opportunities to to get in touch with the core Korean culture and tradition sense of humor. The place is nature crafted and mind refreshing. Dont forget to enjoy traditional Korean Ginseng dishes! If you are travelling between Oct-Feb must take warm clothe.
