[전국]An empty winter festival ground… the winter in Gangwon-do that Corona 19 changed

[앵커]

Corona 19 has also changed the winter landscape.

At this time, the winter festival was in full swing on the frozen rivers and lakes of Gangwon-do.

This year, all of the winter festivals have been canceled, and we are having a quieter winter than any other year.

Is the Sancheoneo Festival where Giza Hong stands?

[기자]

Yes, it is.

The place where I am standing is Hwacheon Sancheoneo Festival.

The river used for the festival is frozen.

Hundreds and thousands of people gathered on this ice plate to drill holes and enjoy ice fishing.

However, as you can see, there is no one at the festival.

This is because the festival was canceled this year in the aftermath of Corona 19.

##Freely change according to the site situation

There is no appearance of catching a mountain fish with the size of an arm, or a view of catching a mountain fish with bare hands in cold ice water.

Corona 19 has also changed the winter landscape of Gangwon, Mecca for the winter festival.

It’s not just the Sancheoneo Festival.

All winter festivals, including the Pyeongchang Trout Festival, Inje Smelt Festival, and Taebaeksan Snow Festival, have been canceled.

This is because there is a high concern about corona 19 infection due to the nature of hundreds of thousands of people during the festival.

[앵커]

Because of the cancellation of the festival, the difficulties for local residents will also be great. How is it?

[기자]

The economic situation in the area where the festival was canceled was literally pushed to the edge of a cliff.

There are no tourists visiting the area, and residents have been cut off due to strengthening the distance.

They are also struggling to dispose of fish and agricultural products raised for festival use.

There are 77 tons of wild fish raised for the festival.

They are made into canned and semi-dried products and sold through YouTube, but the difficulties remain.

Although you cannot find a festival site, you can receive agricultural products from various regions by courier through the local government’s website or online shopping.

It is good to try it at least once with the heart of helping local residents in need.
