Snow Flower Festival

Amid the snowy trails and chilly winds, there is a unique event being held at the Namsangol Hanok Village. Snowy flowers have sprung up at the famous tourist and traditional hanok, or Korean traditional houses, site. The Namsangol Snow Flower Festival is being held at the Cheonwugak Square which is located at the heart of the village, attracting both passersby and tourists. The square has been transformed into a winter wonderland, thanks to the various themes of ice sculptures displayed for visitors to see. As soon as visitors walk into the square, they can find ice sculptures depicting Hangeul, or the Korean alphabet, while the igloos and Eskimo sculptures may have them feeling like they are in the North Pole. Inside the exhibition, there is also the beautiful hanok on display. The festival will be held through Jan. 31 from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Admission is free.
