For natives and tourists loving the cold, when snowflakes spread evenly a white across the country South Korea is also the moment for people and visitors excitedly waiting for the biggest event in the year intended for winter, snow festival Daegwallyeong.
Pyeongchang is located in Gangwon-do Province, is one of the places with snow and the most beautiful winter landscape in Korea. This is also the venue for the Winter Olympic Games in 2018.
Do not know since when, but the festival is held annually in the city Pyeongchang. The festival is divided into regions, a side is an exhibition area of arts made of ice as the ice tunnels, ice and but most are still models snowman Olaf for visitors discovering and taking souvenir photos.
The rest is the play areas with a series of motor sports such as skating, skiing, snow statues, sculpting in ice, playing snowmobile or experiencing of winter Olympic sports such as hockey, and so on.
That kind of freshwater-mountain trout, a specialty of Gangwon-do; they just live in areas having fresh and clean water with average temperature below 20 degrees Celsius. Because only survive in icy water, so at the warm weather, this species does not appear; they will hide themselves deep in the bottom of the river.
Time of trout fishing festival on the ice every year is into the New Year time (around January). Earlier, the festival organizers have dropped into the river more than 32 tons of salmon for participants spoiled for fishing. The winner is the person who captured the fish with the highest number.
Normally, the fishing festival area is a part of river section located quite far away from the urban, even quite deserted. The ice fall through the winter, so river's surface is frozen into a thick layer, safety for the person sitting on the ice to fishing.
The day we went to is the middle of fishing season; although the weather was cold, there were thousands of people flocked to the festival Sancheoneo Hwacheon; they brought all kinds of devides with the hope of catch the biggest salmons.
For tourists and people who do not already have prepared, there are stores supplying tools at affordable prices. They are the coachbox, fishing rod (fishing rod for fishing salmon does not like other rod types), buckets and other handy tools. And fishing manner, you just need a little technique plus luck.
If be confident, you select a spot to dig a small well on the ice despite this work is very hard because of very hard ice. Otherwise, you can choose a well that was dug. After successfully fishing, people can carry the fishes to the kitchen area of the organizers to ask the help in processing. Here regularly has grilled fish, raw fish, and so on.
Without the fish, you can also visit a food store with affordable, otherwise, you can bring lunch from home.
With some fancied "Fishman", observing the well to decide whether or not the fish come to also is a key. Then watching the wind direction, the flow; from which they have to move from this well to other wells to track the movement of fish. If accidentally caught a fish stocks, they can poked racket into icy water to catch the fish, despite this is rare.
I also go in this trip and do not get luck; I stood in cold weather outdoor but did not catch any fish, ultimately, I decided come back to tent while between heaven with cold winter winds, many people accustomed to the cold still talk, greet and exchange about experience fishing.
The organizer is seem to be big winner because this is a typical and very interesting festival; it has rare uniqueness attracting more than 1 million domestic tourists and international participating annually , you should also go once to know
