Icheon has 1,000 years of history in ceramic arts and its ceramics festival is one of the most famous in Korea.
Here visitors can see a variety of Korea's finest ceramics such as Cheongja (celadon porcelain), Baekja (white porcelain), and Buncheongsagi (grayish-blue-powdered celadon). Particularly popular festival events include the ceramics excavation program, and visitors can even draw their own artwork on slightly heated pottery.
Visitors in need of some relaxation can visit the highly regarded hot springs located nearby, which used to be visited by the kings of the Joseon Dynasty (1392~1910).
