Why Yangchon Dried Persimmons?

Yangchon, located at the foot of Daedunsan Mountain, has the perfect conditions for producing dried persimmons, with significant temperature variations and strong northwesterly winds that ensure excellent ventilation. Unlike artificially dried products, Yangchon dried persimmons are naturally dried, alternating between the cold winter winds and warm sunlight, resulting in a chewy exterior and a soft, sweet interior.

Notably, the sweetness of Yangchon dried persimmons reaches an impressive 20-40 Brix. The longer they ripen, the darker they become, often referred to as 'black dried persimmons'. These persimmons are not only delicious but also beneficial for respiratory health, helping to alleviate coughs and phlegm.

**Unique Christmas Experience**

This festival stands out for its 'Christmas vibe', combining traditional elements with cultural and artistic events, creating a romantic and festive atmosphere. It’s an ideal opportunity for families to enjoy an early Christmas celebration.

**Quality Yangchon Dried Persimmons**

Yangchon is blessed with sunshine and wind, making it an ideal place for drying persimmons. At the festival, visitors can taste and purchase not only Yangchon dried persimmons but also other excellent local agricultural products at affordable prices, perfect for year-end gift preparations.

The Yangchon Sports Park offers an open space that enhances the winter experience, making the Yangchon Dried Persimmon Festival a warm and culturally rich event. If you haven’t made weekend plans yet, consider visiting the festival from December 12 to 14. May the sweetness of dried persimmons fill your year-end with joy.
