As the temperature across the country plunged to the lowest points this winter this week, those looking for wintertime fun and thrills can expect even more fun in Gangwon Province, the mountainous province known for its abundant snowfall — one of the reasons why Pyeongchang in Gangwon Province hosted the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Among the exciting options at Gangwon Province are lure fishing, bare-handed fishing, sledding, trekking, skiing and, for the die-hard K-drama fans, Korean drama filming locations.
Winter lovers may want to take the last-minute chance to enjoy ice fishing as most of Gangwon Province’s fishing events come to an end in January.
Inje Ice Fishing Festival, is held in Inje, a mountainous county in Gangwon Province some 165 kilometers northeast of Seoul. The event centers around a pond with small ice holes where you drop a line, hoping a smelt under the sheet of ice will catch the bait.
Admission is free for the festivals, but fees for activities, fishing equipment and bait vary by events.
