Hamyang Wild Ginseng Festival

Festival Highlights
- Premium Hamyang Wild Ginseng
- Wild Ginseng Traceability System in place

Hamyang wild ginseng, grown in germanium soil over 500m above sea level, is called 'premium wild ginseng' due to its excellent quality, including dense and firm texture and high saponin content. Hamyang is the first in the nation to implement a wild ginseng traceability system, allowing consumers to accurately know production information. Through 'Wild Ginseng Guardian' activities, continuous quality control is maintained, preserving its distinctive characteristics as premium wild ginseng.
The festival is organized to re-examine the meaning and historical value of wild ginseng through programs that utilize content to preserve the disappearing history and culture of wild ginseng and traditional wild ginseng gatherers, held in Hamyang Sangrim Park, Natural Monument No. 154, where the mystery of a thousand years breathes. It also aims to expand sales channels for local agricultural specialties by leveraging the image of wild ginseng, a clean forest product and the county's flagship brand, and to revitalize the local economy through interconnected programs with forest, cultural, and tourism resources. The festival is held annually around September to October.
