The fish caught by visitors can be prepared as Korean-style dishes right away at a nearby restaurant. There are lots of winter activities except fishing. Sledding, ice skating, even bobsleigh are ready for tourists. And there is some chance to experience Korean traditional folk games including top spinning and wooden sledge.
