Explanation

The Hyoseok Culture Village is the place where author Lee Hyo-seok (penname “Gasan”) was born and raised. The village is also the setting of the author’s story "When Buckwheat Flowers Bloom,” one of the most celebrated Korean short stories to date. Since 1999, the Hyoseok Cultural Festival has been held here every September to commemorate the writer. Visitors to the festival can enjoy various foods and events as well as a replica of scenes from the book. For those that are searching for a more tranquil visit, avoid the month of September, when the buckwheat flowers are in full bloom. Don't forget to try all the different memil (buckwheat) dishes offered throughout the area all year round.
