Korea offers a remarkable 9-day Lunar New Year holiday this year, giving opportunities to dive into cultural experiences across the country. Visitors can enjoy free access to the four major palaces and the Joseon royal tombs, where traditional Korean art and rituals can be experienced. The advent of the new lunar year sees palaces like Gyeongbokgung offering unique events, while museums nationwide hold workshops on traditional games and crafts.
Theme parks like Lotte World and Everland are hosting special performances and events featuring Korean folk dances and games popularized by series like "Squid Game." Meanwhile, coastal fishing villages offer unique winter experiences with programs like mudflat exploration and yacht adventures.
For those seeking excitement, attractions like Suwon's hot air balloon offer panoramic views, and resorts on Incheon’s Yeongjong Island are hosting DJ parties with large-scale "balloon drops." With various discounts and promotions, including those for wearing traditional hanbok (Korean traditional attire), the festive season is rich with activities for locals and tourists alike.
