As the gentle breeze brings warmth to our hearts these days,

are you pondering where to go with your family?

May is the season for outings, where lush nature and colorful flowers

come together in the most beautiful way.

Let me introduce you to a hidden gem in Pocheon, Gyeonggi-do,

the '2026 Pocheon Hantan River Spring Garden Festa.'

Shall we embark on a journey filled with the laughter of children and the scent of flowers?

The entrance to the '2026 Pocheon Hantan River Spring Garden Festa'

To enter the festival, you need to purchase a ticket at the entrance.

A significant portion of the entrance fee is returned as local gift certificates,

making it a low-cost experience.

The festival takes place in the expansive Hantan River Ecological Park,

which is vast and requires considerable time to explore on foot.

To enjoy the wide gardens and trees,

it's essential to manage your stamina and time wisely.

I highly recommend renting an electric bicycle.

You can move comfortably without pedaling,

making it useful for vulnerable groups like the elderly and young children.

The rental fee for an electric bicycle is 30,000 won for one hour,

but you receive 15,000 won back in local gift certificates.

Beautiful gardens themed with tulips, roses, rapeseed, and triticale

fill the festival grounds.

You'll find various themed gardens, including the Garden of the Gods, Waterside Garden, and Stone Tower Garden,

along with photo zones featuring 'Pororo and Friends' to capture children's attention.

One of the highlights of this festival is the Y-shaped suspension bridge,

which offers a thrilling experience walking above the breathtaking views of the Hantan River.

Be cautious as it can be windy and sways.

The daytime Garden Festa is a vibrant celebration of flowers,

but after sunset, the Hantan River transforms into a completely new world.

This is the ambitious night tour themed 'Terra Fantasia.'

The light art spread across five regions guides visitors into a fantastic fairy tale.

With dreamy water fog and laser shows,

it creates a spectacular scene reminiscent of the aurora in the night sky.

The Y-shaped suspension bridge transforms into a massive beam of light at night,

showcasing the stunning landscapes of the deep canyon.

Although access is usually restricted at night for safety,

it is specially opened during the festival,

providing a unique opportunity to enjoy the night view of the Hantan River.

The pinnacle of the night tour is undoubtedly the media art show 'Volcano of Light,'

projected onto the cliff face of the columnar joint.

Each time the magnificent visuals are projected,

the audience gasps in awe.

The media art show runs for 10 minutes at the top of every hour and half-hour.

Food is also an essential part of the festival.

A river market and food truck zone selling local agricultural specialties and delicious food

are set up at one side of the festival.

You can use the local gift certificates received upon entry here,

making your experience even more enjoyable.

Enjoy a warm snack while strolling through the gardens.

The '2026 Pocheon Hantan River Spring Garden Festa' is a place where you can indulge in the fragrance of flowers and the dazzling lights.

The unique charm of Pocheon, from day to night,

offers joy to families and romance to couples.

This weekend, enjoy a special spring day in Pocheon,

where nature and art come together.
