Gangwon Hosts 2-Day Experience Of Future Industries And Traditional Culture
Pre-registered participants receive tickets at the 2025 Pyeongchang Highland Kimchi Festival experience zone at Jinbu Civic Sports Park in Pyeongchang County, South Korea, on November 7, 2025. For 68,000 won, visitors can make and take home 10 kilograms of kimchi, with festival assistants guiding those unfamiliar with the process. Launched in 2014, the festival promotes the quality of Pyeongchang's highland cabbage, preserves the UNESCO-listed kimjang tradition, and supports local farmers. Residents actively participate during the festival, creating jobs, and this year the event achieves record attendance with 60,000 visitors and 3 billion won in revenue. (Photo by Chris Jung/NurPhoto)
