Trout is a member of the salmon family that returns to Pyeongchang in winter. Known for inhabiting clean and cold waters, the trout symbolizes the clean and pristine environment of Pyeongchang. Every winter, Pyeongchang’s rivers are covered with thick ice, and the Pyeongchang Trout Festival draws many visitors who brave the cold to enjoy the event. The festival primarily features ice fishing through small holes drilled in the ice, with popular activities including tent camping at the fishing site and barehand fishing. The festival also offers various winter recreational facilities, such as ice sledding, ensuring fun for both children and adults.

◎ Tip
Home to the coldest winters in Korea, Pyeongchang hosted the Winter Olympics in 2018. Wearing thick clothes and winter equipment to the festival is recommended as most of the events are held outdoors.

Guryongpokpo Falls refers to the group of nine waterfalls, varying in size, located over a three-kilometer stretch of Sogeumgang River in Odaesan National Park. "Guryong" means nine dragons and legend has it that each of the waterfalls was occupied by a dragon. The sixth waterfall is particularly attractive. It is simultaneously the most magnificent and serene of the falls, which is why it is also known as the "Gentleman’s Waterfall." Two kilometers away from the sixth waterfall, is a curious-looking piece of rock called Manmulsang. The name literally means "tens of thousands of different looks." Some of these looks have earned it to other names such as "Giant Rock," "Phantom-Face Rock," "Iworam," and "Candlestick Rock’"
