👨👩👧 Going with kids
There are activities
where you put your hands in water,
like loach catching.
A towel and a change of clothes
for the kids are a good idea.
The festival starts at 10:00,
so you could do activities
in the morning first
and then watch the 14:00 official ceremony.
With plenty of food booths,
you can have lunch in the park too.
By bus, the Dasan River Palliche Apt. stop
is 6 min on foot —
the closer of the two listed stops
