International participation evidence

Korea.net reported a provisional estimate of about 1,800 foreign visitors and on-site participation in 2025. Hwacheon’s 2026 photo record also describes domestic and foreign participants, but its commercial-use ban prevents reusing those photos.

Getting there by public transport

Hwacheon’s official transport guide lists intercity connections between Sachang-ri Terminal and Dong Seoul or Chuncheon. From Sachang-ri, walk or take a taxi to the edition’s exact venue. This is not Hwacheon-eup; recheck schedules for your travel date.
