Celebrating its 23rd anniversary this year, the Paju Jangdan Soybean Festival is a place where the historic value of South Korea's first certified soybean strand, the Jangdanbaekmok, is made evident along with that of Jangdansambaek (rice, soybeam, and ginseng), a precious tribute to the king. At the festival site, visitors can purchase Paju Jangdan soybeans at least 20% cheaper than the market price as well as Paju's special agricultural produces. In addition, a wide range of culture and art performances that everyone can enjoy is available, such as making small meju, grinding with a millstone, and sifting soybeans, in addition to a traditional Korean game zone, bubble shows, magic shows, and traditional tightrope walking. If you are looking for a way to escape the busy life, and enjoy a late fall picnic with your children, visit the Paju Jangdang Soybean Festival organized by the city of Paju.
