Foreign tourists took part in the main event of the 2026 Hwacheon Sancheoneo Festival on January 17 along the Hwacheoncheon river in Hwacheon County, Gangwon Province. Participants tried the traditional bare-handed trout catching (sancheoneo maenson jabgi) and posed for commemorative photos after catching fish. The festival draws visitors to experience local winter activities and regional culture. "Hwacheon" is a county in Gangwon Province; "sancheoneo" refers to mountain trout (a local freshwater fish).
