Introduce

Hadong Bukcheon Poppy Flower Festival was first started to attract tourists with an agricultural hands-on festival using agricultural landscapes of Hadong as well as the poppy flowers which were planted in Hadong as winter landscape plants as part of the ‘Landscape Conservation Credit System’. The festival has significantly contributed to increasing the added value of agricultural products cultivated in Hadong and to invigorating Hadong’s overall economy. The number of tourists visiting Hadong to witness the splendid beauty of poppy flowers that bloom from the end of Spring to when Fall is just around the corner, grows every year and the festival has been invigorating the agricultural economy that has recently been experiencing difficulties from the aging population and the opening of the agricultural market. It’s also boosting a community spirit among the people and enabling people to regain confidence in their future income. Hadong Bukcheon Poppy Flower Festival held in the nation’s largest cultivating site for winter landscape plants is celebrating its 4th anniversary this year and is attracting more tourists every year. The festival includes various hands-on programs that allow the tourists experience the atmosphere and beauty of Hadong and its agricultural villages and a bike railway that passes through flower fields and old, closed-down train stations that bring out sentiments.
