Hwacheon Sancheoneo Ice Festival has become
the most reputable domestic festival both in name and reality.
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.

The best delicacy of the Winter and exciting activities
You now have your fish, it’s the time to try them! You can try them in lots of different ways,
yet, the utmost recommended way is to try it as sashimi first while it’s fresh and then get it grilled with what is left.
You can even try fish-grabbing with your hands!

You will be able to find street food in the festival, some easy-to-eat meals
and even hot ones to warm your body during the cold wait of fishing!


Other activities available on-site
(Might require additional fees)
You'll be able to witness figure skating performances or even try ice skating if you want to!


Enjoy vibrant and stunning sculptures made with ice or snow.


You can also enjoy the fun of snow sledding if fishing is not your thing!
