Yeongju-si, a major manufacturing place of
ginseng, will hold the Punggi Ginseng Festival

habitat for wild ginseng. It is recorded that the
wild ginseng from this area had been given to
foreign dignitaries as gifts as early as the year
700. In the sixteenth century, the region found a
way to farm ginseng and became one of Korea’s
major producers of this potent herb.
