About this festival

제22회 산북품실축제는 22년 동안 여주의 대표 축제로 자리 매김되어 왔다. 제22회 산북품실축제는 ''산북AI김장문화축제''라는 소주제를 가지고 진행된다. 김장은 대한민국을 대표하는 음식문화이자 가족과 이웃이 함께 정을 나누는 소중한 전통이다. 2013년 유네스코 인류무형문화유산으로 등재된 김장문화는 함께 만들고 함께 나누는 공동체 정신을 담고 있다. 산북 AI 김장문화축제는 이러한 전통 김장문화를 계승하면서 기술을 접목해 누구나 쉽고 즐겁게 참여할 수 있는 새로운 형태의 김장 축제이다. 지역에서 생산된 신선한 농산물과 첨단 기술이 만나 김장의 즐거움은 물론, 지역 농업의 가치와 미래 농업의 가능성을 함께 경험할 수 있는 특별한 축제를 만들어 가고 있다.

112 for police, 119 for fire and ambulance. Both are free from any phone. Police on 112 can add an English or Chinese interpreter to the call.

T-money card

Buy one at a convenience store such as GS25, CU or 7-Eleven and top it up there with cash. It pays for subways and buses in most cities, and for most taxis.

Maps

Use Naver Map or Kakao Map for walking and bus directions; Google Maps does not yet give walking directions in Korea. Both apps can be switched to English. Naver Map: Menu (≡) → Settings → Language (Japanese and Chinese also available). Kakao Map: Menu (≡) → Settings → App settings → Language. If the option is missing, change your phone’s language and reopen the app. Small shop names and some reviews stay in Korean.
