Jangsu Hanwoo and Apple Festival in Jangsu
An autumn harvest festival in mountainous Jangsu County, North Jeolla Province, celebrating the area's two signature products: hanwoo Korean beef and highland-grown apples. Held each September at Uiam Park and Jangsu Nuri Park, it combines grilled beef tastings, apple sampling and sales, farmers' markets, and concert programming that has drawn national trot and pop performers to the small county seat.
Jangsu County sits high in the mountains of North Jeolla Province, at an elevation that gives it cooler temperatures than most of lowland Korea, conditions that happen to suit both cattle pasture and apple orchards especially well.
