Many people may know it as the Bongpyeong Buckwheat Flower Festival. 

The festival is held to commemorate Korean writer Lee Hyo-seok and his popular novel "When Buckwheat Flower Blooms."

 

 

 

 

Photo zone was relocated this year and has been renovated. Ticket prices are 2,000 won. You can walk around and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the snowy-white fields of buckwheat flowers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The previous buckwheat field is still allowed for visitors to walk around. It is better to concentrate on the buckwheat flower without interference of sculptures. But you have to be careful when walking around, because you might perish buckwheat flowers.
