Let's explore the festival where you can experience
The beautiful nature of Jeungdo,
The history of salt production, and the local culture!
With the festival's kickoff,
The Treasure Island Hamcho Festival, now in its third year,
Is a resident-participatory ecological culture festival,
Planned and operated by local residents and civic groups.
It was created to share the clean nature of Slow City Jeungdo,
The lives of local residents, and cultural values with visitors.
Before the opening ceremony,
Exciting line dancing, traditional performances,
And a congratulatory performance by singer Hyun Jin-woo added to the festival's excitement.
Especially, the performance by the Jeungdo line dance team,
Which won the grand prize at the 2026 Health Promotion Physical Activity Competition,
Received much applause and enthusiasm.
Following the welcoming remarks and opening declaration,
The 3rd Treasure Island Hamcho Festival was officially launched.
One of the must-see attractions at the festival
Is the vibrant red hamcho fields spread throughout Taepyeong Salt Farm.
After the opening ceremony, attendees walked along the hamcho path,
Experiencing the beautiful natural environment of Jeungdo.
The red hamcho, covering approximately 11 hectares,
Presents a breathtaking landscape reminiscent of autumn foliage.
With the blue sea, salt fields, and red hamcho blending together,
A unique autumn scenery can only be found in Jeungdo at this time.
Visitors can also view exhibition photos at the Salt Museum,
Exploring Jeungdo's nature and salt production culture.
Another noteworthy feature of this festival is
The newly unveiled art project 'The Time of Salt.'
This exhibition reinterprets the old salt warehouse
As an emotional artistic space.
Located in the 3rd section of Taepyeong Salt Farm,
Warehouses No. 9, 10, and 11 are decorated with different themes,
Unraveling the stories contained within salt, people, and time.
Warehouse No. 9 | The Beginning of Water
Warehouse No. 10 | The Time of Life
Warehouse No. 11 | A Peaceful Farewell
Each space contains stories of salt production history and
The lives of Jeungdo's people.
Notably, the walking paths were created using discarded wood from the salt farm,
Adding an artistic touch to the old salt warehouse,
Transforming it into a meaningful exhibition space that meets the traces of the past in a new way.
Experience not only the nature of Jeungdo
But also the time of the people who have lived there!
