Detailed Description

Introduction

Jinan-gun, known as Korea’s exclusive red ginseng special zone, is a plateau that lies at an average of more than 300m above sea level, producing high-quality red ginseng with a strong aroma and firm texture. The Jinan Red Ginseng Festival presents interesting programs based on the theme of red ginseng grown in the county, including the Fishing King, Plogging King, Healing King, and Treasure Hunt King. Additional activities include magic shows, bubble shows, balloon performances for children, and making red ginseng products such as red ginseng rice cake and red ginseng liquor.

◎ Ginseng vs. Red Ginseng
Ginseng is a well-known Korean traditional medicinal herb. When ginseng is steamed and dried nine times, it turns into red ginseng, which has a reddish color. This process enhances the preservation and increases the active components, making red ginseng beneficial for anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. Its unique sweet-bitter flavor contributes to its popularity as a health food.
