Get to Know the Donggang River Area with Jungshim
A lot of time can be wasted exploring the Donggang River area without seeing the best of its attractions. Thankfully, Jungshim has the most wonderful tours ready, which are guaranteed to make a tourist’s day in South Korea filled with cherished memories.
Located at the Jeongseon and Yeongwol County, the Donggang River is considered to be one of the best places to enjoy whitewater rafting. Touted to be the cleanest river, no surprise there considering Donggang is also South Korea’s cleanest region, Donggang River is also great for guided boat rides or walking tours so that tourists may enjoy sights of local wild animals such as Chinse scops owls, Mandarin ducks, and otters. Other ideal aquatic attractions in South Korea that Jungshim may arrange tours for include the Naerincheon Stream and the Hantangang River.
One of the key advantages to arranging a tour with Jungshim is being able to take full advantage of the activities that take place in the area during the Yeongwol Donggang Festival. Established in 1997, the annual festival celebrates the many uses of log rafts, which is the most essential source of livelihood in the area. One of the most popular events during the festival is the Creative Log Raft Competition, where locals show off their best designs for log rafts. Similar to Japanese festivals, the Yeongwol Donggang Festival also offers a wide range of performances while later culminating with an evening show of fireworks and a grand parade that reaches all the way to the Donggang Riverbank.
