Bongpyeong-myeon

The landscape around Bongpyeong-myeon is a mountain-ringed inland basin in Gangwon-do, which has shaped both its dispersed settlement pattern and farming economy. The Heungjeongcheon valley runs through this part of Pyeongchang County, where fields and forested slopes define the local setting. Bongpyeong is closely associated with writer Lee Hyo-seok and his 1936 short story When Buckwheat Flowers Bloom; the annual Pyeongchang Hyoseok Cultural Festival celebrates buckwheat fields and the author’s legacy. Pyeongchang County also hosted major events during the 2018 Winter Olympics. Trace Bongpyeong-myeon’s place in Pyeongchang County and Gangwon-do by browsing webcams nearby.
