Crown Haitai Opens Sledding Park at the 7th Yangju Snowflake Festival

[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Saeng-hye] The "Yangju Snow Flower Festival," a representative winter festival in the northern Gyeonggi region, is set to take place.

Crown Haitai announced on the 6th that it will operate a snow sledding park in the Jangheung Natural Recreation Forest area of Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, until the 9th of next month.

The Yangju Snow Flower Festival is very popular, with accessibility so convenient that it takes only about an hour from Gwanghwamun, Seoul, and has attracted over 200,000 visitors cumulatively until last year.

The most popular attraction of the Snow Flower Festival is the snow sledding slope, boasting the longest slope (200m) in the metropolitan area. Especially, the "Juljuli Snow Sledding," which can be enjoyed simultaneously by up to 13 people, is a popular item unique to this festival. There are also 1-person (140m) and toddler slopes, making it perfect for the whole family to enjoy together. The sleds are automatically transported by a lift facility, and electric cars circulate throughout the festival site, allowing visitors to enjoy the festival comfortably and safely.

More than 250 snow sculpture works decorating the snow-covered winter kingdom are famous for their beautiful combination of snow and art. The "Geumgul," a cave-shaped exhibition hall made inside a giant water pipe, and the "Jogak-ro," exhibiting about 120 sculptures by professional artists, are also prepared.

The entrance fee for the snow sledding park is 12,000 KRW for both children and adults. Discounts are provided for Yangju citizens, groups of 20 or more, and people with disabilities. Operating hours are daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
