On Sunday, January 18, I, a Dream Tree Reporter, went to the ‘2015 Yeoncheon Paleolithic Age Winter Trip’ festival hosted by Yeoncheon County.

This Paleolithic Age festival runs for 23 days from January 10 to February 1.

At the entrance to the festival, there was a thing that caught the eyes of people. This was the snow sculpture park (Ice Age world tour).

In addition, there was a welcoming photo wall (20m), and the igloos, 5 structures symbolic of continents, and 1 hand axe represented in snow structures were very impressive.

We then left for the Paleolithic Age monorail. When you ride this monorail, you can immediately see the Jeongok-ri sites.

The monorail fare is KRW 5,000 for adults and KRW 3,000 won for children. This 15-minute monorail ride offers enjoyment to visitors while moving up and down the mountain.

The next place is the one with the rides. Like a small amusement park, there are attractions such as an ice slide, trampoline and bungee jump stand.

It offers rest and enjoyment to those who visit the Paleolithic Age Festival.

When you look down from the bungee jump stand, you can see the sledding slope. It is a large sledding slope with a width of 15m and length of 80m that is located in the snow-covered old age town.

The fee for a tube sled that can be used by elementary school students is KRW 5,000. Preschool children are allowed to enter if accompanied by an adult.

Though I could not ride as much as I wanted due to the large number of people, I definitely recommend riding a sled since it is very exciting.

When you feel hungry after sledding, you can use the Paleolithic barbecue next to the sledding slope.

About 300 people can experience it at the same time using 8 large barbecue pits. Various grilled skewers including pork, potatoes and sweet potatoes are provided.

The price of the very popular Paleolithic barbecue (pork menu) is KRW 2,000. Also, next to the sledding slope, they sell a variety of snacks.

Every Saturday, another exciting event is held.

It is the program named ‘Find Dinosaur Eggs in the Snow!’; one can find a lot of presents in the eggs hidden in the snow.

At 1 pm of every Saturday, the ice carving show is held. You can take the opportunity to appreciate ice sculptures made by some of the best artists.

The Paleolithic auto camp managed by this site runs twice a month on the 10th and 17th, and participants are recruited in the order of application. When you participate in the Paleolithic auto camp, you can also experience the sledding slope and barbecue.

Lastly, I posed for a picture at the photo zone in front of an ice sculpture to capture the memory of this place.

I hope that other dream reporters visit the festival to create enjoyable memories while discovering the life of Paleolithic people through various experiences.
