Discover Yangpyeong

Yangpyeong brings together riverside landscapes, garden and nature themes, art programs, and market life. To plan your trip, you can start by choosing what interests you: paths by the water, insights into nature and learning, exhibitions, or local produce.

Scenery and paths in the wider travel area

Galsan Park lies on the banks of the Namhangang River. A riverside path lined with willows is part of the park; the Yangpyeong Mulsori-gil, Section 4, and a cycling path also run through it. This means you can find a riverside path and different route options in the same place. In April, the park is known for its cherry blossoms. The Nuri-bom Festival is also held in the Galsan Park area every April. The blossoms can vary from season to season, and festival dates and programs may change. If your visit is tied to a specific date, check the latest event information in advance.

The park’s nighttime design is also part of its character: Galsan Park is illuminated with colored lights at night. The lighting may change over time. The combination of a riverside path, seasonal blossoms, and a festival makes the park a distinct destination for nature and event enthusiasts.

Forest experiences in the wider travel area

Sweeja Park is a forest culture and recreation complex that brings together accommodation, recreation, healing programs, activities, and education. Its facilities include a forest education center and a children’s forest activity area. The forest exploration trail is 2.3 kilometers long—a specific distance to keep in mind when planning your day. In the associated municipality, Sweeja Park has accommodation at Chogawon and the House of Healing. If you are considering either accommodation in the associated municipality, check its current availability.

Art and nature education

In the wider travel area, the seasonal exhibitions at the Yangpyeong County Art Museum change between spring, summer, fall, and winter. The program also includes special and outdoor art exhibitions, exhibition-related creative education programs, cultural events, and the Byeolbyeol Art Market. An outdoor area is used to display sculptures and other media works, as well as to host outdoor events. In the basement, three education rooms are available for visitor programs that encourage creativity. On the third floor, there is a seminar room for academic, educational, and cultural programs, including lectures, forums, seminars, and cultural events. Exhibition themes and program dates may change; check the latest information if you are planning a visit.

In the wider travel area, the different sections of the Yangpyeong Wild Flower Arboretum each have their own focus. The Nature Learning Center features around 200 species of endangered wildflowers, while the herb garden is home to 50 different herb species. The arboretum also includes a nature ecology museum with a nature ecology model and educational videos, a wetland, Tteodeureongseom Island, a riverside access point, and a research center. A tropical arboretum is also part of the grounds. Hands-on programs round out these nature and learning experiences. As programs may change, it is worth checking the latest dates before your visit.

Market and other destinations in the municipality

The Yangpyeong Water-Clear Traditional Market sells seasonal vegetables and fruit from Yangpyeong, as well as wild herbs gathered in Yongmun. The market has around 400 permanent shops; on five-day market days, around 200 temporary stalls are added. These figures are approximate and may change over time. If you want to visit the market specifically, check when the next market day is.

Yanggang Island in the associated municipality has a Mugunghwa garden and a bicycle traffic safety learning center. Together with the nature and cultural attractions, these destinations offer different themes for planning a trip: gardens and plants, learning and art, market products, or paths by the water. You can choose the focus of your stay according to the interests that matter to you.
