🎪 What Kind of Festival Is It?
This is a festival where you walk through gardens and flower paths stretching about 3.2km along Hwangnyonggang.
On the 7th, Jangseong-gun announced that zinnias, cosmos, yellow cosmos, and 18,000 flowers of 13 varieties are in full bloom. The best viewing area is from Munhwa Bridge to Yongjak Bridge.
Cheongbaekri Garden has about 70,000 Korean chrysanthemums, and Hwangnyong Garden has about 2,000 cannas.
🎈 When Are the Kids’ Shows?
Hwangmir Land children’s shows are held three times daily from the 9th to the 11th, near the Hwangmir Land playground. There will be balloon, bubble, and magic shows.
| Show | Time |
|---|---|
| 1st | 11:00~11:45 |
| 2nd | 14:00~14:45 |
| 3rd | 16:00~16:45 |
The children’s musical on the main stage at 11:00 on the 9th is a 50-minute performance about ‘It’s okay to be slow.’
From the 9th to the 11th, there will also be street performances throughout the gardens: plaster mime (Hongdam Garden), stilt walkers and clowns (Healing Herb Garden), and mirror men (Yongjak Bridge to Seosam Bridge).
The Healing Herb Garden features animal topiary displays, and there will be chalk art at Cheongbaekri Garden and Hwangmir Land.
🚂 How Much Is the Flower Train?
The flower train boards under Jangseong Bridge, passes by No.1 Hwangnyong Bridge and in front of Hwangmir Land, and returns to Jangseong Bridge.
| Type | Fare |
|---|---|
| Flower Train (General) | 6,000 won |
| Jangseong Residents · Children (25 months~elementary) · Age 70+ | 5,000 won |
| Infants (24 months & under) | Free |
| Hwangmir Train (one-way) | 1,000 won |
The leaflet says the Hwangmir Train runs between Hwangmir Land and the entrance to Healing Bridge. The website’s main page shows boarding under Jangseong Bridge, while the press release (9/23) describes a ‘Hwangmir Shuttle’ boarding at the main stage, so details vary slightly. According to the press release, the shuttle to Hwangmir Land runs from 10:30 to 17:30, every hour.
🚗 Getting There & Parking
For navigation, enter 9 Jangjae-gil, Jangseong-eup, Jangseong-gun. Expect congestion on weekends from 11:00 to 16:00.
| Transport | Info |
|---|---|
| Train | About 20 minutes on foot from Jangseong Station |
| Intercity Bus | About 27 minutes on foot from Jangseong Bus Terminal |
| Car | About 10 minutes from Jangseong IC, use outer temporary parking lots |
| Free Shuttle Bus | Temporary parking → Jangseong Station → Festival entrance, every 15~20 minutes |
Shuttles run from 9:00 until the end of the event. The leaflet map shows 10 parking lots, including Hwangnyonggang Garden Parking and two temporary lots.
👨👩👧 Tips for Visiting with Kids
The festival grounds are spacious with grass and dirt paths, so comfortable sneakers are recommended. It can get chilly at night, so bring a light jacket.
It’s a good idea to check your child’s and guardian’s contact info before entering. If you lose your child, go to the operations headquarters.
If you need to board the shuttle with a stroller, ask the on-site staff for assistance.
The ‘3-Hour Stay’ at the Hwangnyong Garden operations booth, and photo events at Cheongbaekri Garden, Hongdam Garden, Seongjangi, and Jangseongi run from 10:00 to 18:00.
The 11th fireworks follow the 18:30 concert, so plan to stay into the evening.
