- Local people
- Jeongseon-gun, Gangwon-do
Spring in the mountains is slow but fragrant. May is the true spring, when wild vegetables grown in mountain fields 800m above sea level are spread on the market. No matter what anyone says, gondre is the representative of mountain vegetables. A soft and mild herb with barley heads. Gondre tastes good no matter how you eat it, whether it’s rice, soup, or porridge, and no matter how much you eat it, you won’t get sick. It is rich in protein, calcium, and vitamins, digests well, and is also good for preventing constipation. Gonderebab is the most popular, but it is delicious even with soybean paste soup, pickles, or seasoning. The Ari Hills Skywalk, which looks like walking on clouds, and the longest zip wire in Asia present thrilling memories to travelers. If you go to Grimbawi Village in Hwaam-myeon, you can see high-quality works everywhere. Samtan Art Mine, which has been transformed from an abandoned mine into a cultural art space, has excellent exhibits and a unique space that can be compared to art museums in large cities.
