Korea’s most popular ice fishing festival, Hwacheon Sancheoneo Festival is coming up soon, and it invites you to catch a fish through an opening on 40cm-thick frozen body of water.

Gangwon-do is also well known for its pristine environment. Hwacheon Stream leisurely flows through the Hwacheon area and is famous for its first-grade clean water and is filled with Sancheoneo (Mount Trout) that lives only in very clean and uncontaminated water.

You can also grill and eat the fish you caught.
