Paju Gaeseong Ginseng Festival

The Paju Gaeseong Ginseng Festival creates a themed street under the slogan "DMZ Gaeseong Ginseng, Magically Rising Energy," offering a variety of sights, food, and activities. The 'Enjoy' (sights) section offers various attractions including the national Jangdan Sambaek Cuisine Competition with around 20 participating teams, busking and stage performances, and exhibition halls, along with a promotional hall for information and communication. The 'Delicious' (food) section operates direct-sale shops so that everyone who comes to the festival can purchase good ginseng, in keeping with the original purpose of the Paju Gaeseong Ginseng Festival. The 'Together' (activities) section runs paid and free experience programs that people of all ages can join, a ginseng auction, and more. If you want a healthy and fun outing this fall, we recommend visiting the Paju Gaeseong Ginseng Festival.

This festival turns a stretch of Paju into a themed street celebrating Gaeseong ginseng, with the Jangdan Sambaek Cuisine Competition (around 20 teams), busking and stage performances, and exhibition halls to explore. Visitors can buy ginseng directly from on-site sellers, bid in a ginseng auction, and join paid or free hands-on experience programs for all ages.

The venue is at Imjingak in Munsan-eup, Paju, near the DMZ. The Gyeongui-Jungang commuter line runs directly to Imjingak Station, a short walk or taxi ride from the festival grounds. Alternatively, intercity buses to Munsan run from Seoul bus terminals, with a local taxi or bus connection on to Imjingak.
