The clear autumn sky encourages family outings. In the rich harvest season, let’s go to Yeoju, Gyeonggi-do with your children to experience digging sweet potatoes. As if looking for a treasure in the ground, when you dig up the sweet potatoes that have grown strong, your heart will become rich before you know it. Yeoju used to be famous for chestnut sweet potato, but now it cultivates a lot of Beni Haruka varieties, also known as ‘honey sweet potato’. It is popular as it becomes sweeter and savory as time passes after harvest. The Wild Green Rural Experience Village operates various experience programs such as digging sweet potatoes in the fall, making sweet potato cakes, and making rice cakes. The sweet potato digging experience costs 7,000 won per person, and you can take 2 kg of harvested sweet potatoes. Gyeonggang Line (subway) opened to Yeoju Station, so public transportation is also available. After harvesting, let’s stop by the Yeongneung of Sejong and the Yeongneung of Hyojong, which are designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The Yeoju City Phone Museum, which shows the history and evolution of mobile phones at a glance, is also interesting. You can take a leisurely walk in the neighboring Golden Sand Riverside Park and enjoy a family outing with shopping at Yeoju Premium Outlet.
