About the event
The Goheung Yuja Festival is the signature autumn festival held in clean Goheung, Korea's largest yuja (citron) producing area. It lets you enjoy with all five senses the deep flavor and fresh charm of Goheung yuja, grown in the warm sunshine of the southern region and the clean sea breeze. Against the backdrop of vast yuja fields, there are sensory experiences such as making fragrant yuja-cheong (yuja syrup), a yuja spa that melts away tired bodies, and tastings of special yuja dishes you can only try in Goheung. At night, fantastic night lighting and yuja-themed spaces come together to offer a picture-like romance of an autumn night. It goes beyond a simple specialty-product festival and is an ideal healing culture and tourism festival where you can stay and rest with family, lovers, and friends. In 11 (November), when you can enjoy yellow ripening yuja and the mood of autumn, it will offer the fresh scent of yuja and warm memories.
