Under the dazzling blue sky,
the 2026 Yecheon Yonggung Sundae Festival delighted both the palate and the eyes.
Let me vividly capture the atmosphere of the event.
Welcome to Yonggung!
As soon as you pass the charming sign welcoming you to Yonggung,
you realize this is no ordinary rural village,
but a 'culinary paradise' itself.
On the way to the festival, excitement begins.
Driving along a quiet road that meets the blue sky,
you'll spot a large green sign reading,
'Welcome to Yonggung.'
From the moment you encounter this cute rabbit character on the sign,
your adventure officially begins.
Bathed in the warm sunlight of April,
the area around Yonggung Station was already buzzing
with food enthusiasts and families gathered from across the nation.
The highlight of this festival is undoubtedly the 'taste.'
Upon entering the festival grounds,
the first thing that catches your eye is a massive map of Yonggung Sundae eateries.
Ten renowned local restaurants are detailed on the map,
making it easy to find dining spots outside the festival area.
Special festival menus include not only traditional Sundae
but also fusion dishes like Sundae Gangjeong and Sundae Tteokbokki,
which are sure to delight children.
The chewy texture and savory flavor of freshly steamed Makchang Sundae
make it clear why people consider 'Yonggung Sundae' the best.
The 2026 Yonggung Sundae Festival was particularly special
because it perfectly integrated the storytelling of 'Byeoljubujeon' throughout the festival.
With the concept of a mini-game with NPCs from 'Byeoljubujeon',
the festival offered a fresh experience!
As you complete missions and collect stamps,
you can earn a commemorative mug from the Yonggung Festival.
It's not just about walking; engaging in games makes it fun for the kids!
The bubble-blowing activity was also a hit,
with sea creature characters standing tall.
The Sundae Lab offered hands-on experiences
where kids could fill their own Sundae.
Seeing how our food is made left a lasting impression
on the children's serious expressions.
You could also taste different types of Sundae,
including Byeongcheon Sundae and Abai Sundae.
The rich flavor of Sundae made with Makchang is unforgettable.
The face painting booth was also extremely popular,
adding to the festive atmosphere.
The cute rabbit and turtle characters painted on faces
looked like little ambassadors of the festival.
The pearl fishing experience was a hit with the kids,
and many were busy taking photos with the Sundae characters.
The indoor exhibition featured the 'Byeoljubujeon Automata,'
showcasing the story of the turtle and the rabbit.
Even adults were captivated by its quality.

reducing congestion significantly.
