Product Info

The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.

  • Experience one of Korea's most important winter traditions at the annual Dongzangsinchi (김장) festival in Uiseong, North Gyeongsang Province.
  • Dongzang Sinchi (김장) is a Korean custom of making large amounts of sinchi before winter so that the whole family can survive the long, cold winter. It also symbolizes reunion and sharing, and is an important moment to connect with family and neighbors.
  • Accompanied by local guides in both Chinese and English, this activity takes visitors on a journey into the local countryside. Unlike typical cooking classes, we'll personally pickle shichi with local grandmothers, learning the secrets passed down through generations and experiencing the most authentic rural life. From the process of blending cabbage with spices to the finished product, this is a five-sensory experience of the "flavors of Korean winter."
  • After the experience, everyone will sit together and share the table of white-cut meat and fresh cinnamon, which is an indispensable warm moment in our activities.
    While enjoying and communicating, you will feel the most simple human touch of the Korean countryside.
  • This is a limited event that only happens once a year. It is not only a culinary experience, but also a journey about culture, local people and taste.
    Join us and create your own unique Korean winter memories.
