Exploring the Asia Publishing Culture Information Center
I first explored the Asia Publishing Culture Information Center,
the central space of the festival.
Even though it was the first day of the festival,
there were already many visitors bustling with energy.
Various events were being prepared in the multipurpose hall,
Wisdom Forest Hall 2, and Munbal Salon.
Especially, the Book Market Nanjang,
where publishers meet readers, will be held
on October 16, 17, and 18.
If you visit during that period,
it would be good to check the locations of publishers or programs
you've been curious about in advance.
On the second floor of the center,
I also visited the Beautiful Store's second-hand bookstore, 'Treasure Island'.
Among the faded bookshelves,
it was a cozy space where I could immerse myself in the analog feeling.
With over 30,000 books including picture books, children's books,
educational comics, and adult books,
it was delightful to find books that are usually hard to get.
After exploring the center, I moved to Gwanginsa-gil,
where flea markets and live performances were held.
Even though it was my first visit to Paju Publishing City,
the signage and guidance were intuitive
making it easy to find my way.
On the way to Gwanginsa-gil, many people were enjoying
book picnics, laying out mats in the serene autumn scenery.
Even if you don't participate in the well-prepared programs,
the romantic atmosphere of reading together
allows you to recharge your autumn spirit.
Upon arriving at Gwanginsa-gil, I was delighted by the various flea markets
and experience programs.
Particularly, the resident companies of Paju Publishing City
participated in the experience programs,
which was impressive.
Walking along Gwanginsa-gil,
I was drawn by the soothing sounds of acoustic guitar
and found a performance zone.
I stopped to enjoy emotional guitar performances
and touching choir shows,
fully embracing the festival atmosphere.
Food is an essential part of any festival!
Both the Asia Publishing Culture Information Center and Gwanginsa-gil
had ample food zones set up.
With a variety of options based on your preferences,
it was convenient to explore the festival.
As a festival centered around books,
every program and flea market item was filled with emotional elements.
With the serene blue autumn sky
and the lyrical landscape of the publishing city,
it was a deeply memorable autumn festival.
If you're still deciding on a weekend outing,
how about heading to the Paju Fair: Books and Culture?
From outdoor healing book picnics to engaging book talks,
diverse programs, and exciting performances!
Make special autumn memories in Paju Publishing City,
where books and culture come together!
