Buckwheat pancakes, snoring, and the beauty of the Gangwon-do winter market

One of the pleasures of the market is ‘eating’. Traditional markets in Gangwon-do have many local delicacies, making travel more enjoyable for travelers. In particular, the name and ingredients of the food contain the story of Gangwon-do, which arouses interest. Jeongseon Arirang Market became famous in 1999 when the Jeongseon 5-Day Tour Train (currently Jeongseon Arirang Train) opened. With buckwheat and corn firmly rooted in the barren land, food that was forced to eat has become a delicacy for travelers. ‘Kotdeungchigi’, which is made by touching the bridge of the nose because the noodles are thick and clunky, and ‘Tadpole Noodles’, which are made of corn starch that look like tadpoles, have a great taste. In Yeongwol Seobu Market, there is Buckwheat Jeonbyeong Alley. The buckwheat jeonjib that are attached to each other gives a slightly different taste. In particular, the taste of eating while watching the pan frying is special. Yeongwol Seobu Market has recently seen a sharp increase in the number of young people visiting because of word-of-mouth about the fried chicken. Jeongseon and Yeongwol are excellent winter destinations in Gangwon-do. The Ari Hills Skywalk and the Donggang Museum of Photography are must-see places. Arirang Brewery and Young Dal Wai Park are travel destinations that young people will like.
