Now in its second year, ‘Winter in Yangpyeong’ is a festival planned under the slogan ‘Tourism Yangpyeong’ to attract visitors during the winter off-season and promote the revitalization of the local economy. This year, the festival operates a ‘Stamp Tour’ where visitors can collect stamps and receive souvenirs at various attractions linked with local resources such as haejangguk (hangover soup), libraries, book cafes, and pet-friendly accommodations during the festival period.

The county expects a positive impact on the local economy as visitors can experience and enjoy the festival throughout Yangpyeong.

Governor Jeon Jin-seon said, “There are stamp tours and various events prepared for exploring and participating in the charming spots of Yangpyeong,” adding, “We hope you enjoy a warm and joyful winter in Yangpyeong with this festival.”
