Yesan Stork Festival (7th)

Come meet Natural Monument No. 199, the Oriental white stork, returned to the embrace of nature! The 7th Yesan Stork Festival is a meaningful ecological festival that captures the warm efforts of Stork Village — earnestly supporting a stable habitat and survival in the wild for the restored storks.

Recent rapid climate change has threatened natural ecosystems, making it ever harder for storks to live in the wild. Yet with a powerful homing instinct, these beautiful birds keep returning to Stork Village, and in return, villagers lovingly tend an eco-friendly habitat where storks and people can live together.

This festival vividly conveys the village's dedication and its message of ecological conservation through diverse, planned hands-on programs and exhibitions. In the clean Yesan Stork Village, it will unfold as a special time to feel the preciousness of nature and share in the wonder of life, living alongside the storks.
