'Camping Vibes' Jangseong Hwangryonggang Autumn Flower Festival, Expected to Be Most Popular Yet

The curtain has risen on the Jangseong Hwangryonggang Autumn Flower Festival, which has been selected four times as a representative festival of Jeonnam.

This year, the festival has received favorable reviews by attempting a change with the concept of ‘Campnic,’ where visitors stay and enjoy at Hwangryonggang.

Campnic is a portmanteau of camping and picnic, a leisure culture that lightly embraces the camping vibe.

Jangseong-gun installed tents, mats, chairs, and tables throughout the Hwangryonggang riverside.

If you want to take a short break while walking along the flower river, you can use the tents on the lawn.

The Campnic area is also set up in the center of the festival site, allowing visitors to freely enjoy the festival by watching performances or eating food in the tents.

The ‘Flower Scent Sound Playground’ near the zinnia flower field was popular with children. They could freely play wooden xylophones, keyboards, percussion instruments, and more in nature.

There were also tents and chairs in the shade of trees next to the playground, attracting many family groups.

In addition, there are various attractions such as water bicycles and UFO boats on the river, Disco Pang Pang, and the Flower Road Train.

At the ‘Jangseong Myungga Food Hall,’ eight representative restaurants of Jangseong prepared food with great care.

Menus included Korean beef ox foot soup, chicken, spicy octopus, seasoned gizzard shad, curry, udon, and more, offering a variety of tastes at reasonable prices.

The well-organized layout inside the food hall was also a factor that received good reviews.

Diverse performances also enhanced the festival satisfaction.

On the 7th, at the Gwangju MBC Opening Celebration Show Gayo Best, Seol Woon-do, Jo Hang-jo, Shin Yu, and Yang Ji-eun took the stage.

The next day, Lee Seok-hoon, Park Hye-won, and Sunwoo performed songs full of autumn emotions. During the day, dance, musicals, youth peace concerts, kids magic shows, and auctions of Jangseong specialties continued.

Equipped with two large screens and a rich sound system, even audiences far away had no difficulty enjoying the performances.

Visitors wishing to admire the autumn flowers flocked to the Lotus Garden, Healing Herb Garden, and Sunflower Garden. They often took commemorative photos with beautifully blooming autumn flowers such as cosmos, sulfur cosmos, and zinnia as the backdrop.

At night, the newly installed lighting on Yongjakgyo Bridge, Munhwa Bridge, the Flower Tunnel nightscape, and lighting illuminating the entire flower path received much love.

Kim Han-jong, Jangseong County Governor, said, “We will do our best until the end to provide dreams, romance, and precious memories to everyone who visits Hwangryonggang.”

The Jangseong Hwangryonggang Autumn Flower Festival runs until the 15th, and the welcoming of visitors continues until the 22nd of next month. Since the opening on the 7th, the number of visitors over two days recorded a total of 141,000, with 65,000 on the first day and 76,000 on the second day.
