About
The Goheung Yuja (Citron) Festival is a signature autumn festival held in pristine Goheung, Korea’s largest yuja-producing region. Grown under the warm sunshine and clean sea breezes of the southern coast, Goheung yuja is celebrated here with all five senses—its rich flavor and fresh, fragrant charm. Against a backdrop of sprawling yuja orchards, you can make fragrant yuja-cheong (yuja syrup), relax in a soothing yuja spa, and sample special yuja dishes found only in Goheung. After dark, dazzling night illuminations and yuja-themed spaces come together for a picture-perfect, romantic autumn evening. More than just a local specialty festival, it’s an ideal healing getaway to linger and unwind…
