Hongqi Village, Wanbao Town

　　Hongqi Village is located in the central part of Antu County, 72 kilometers from the county seat, 140 kilometers from Yanji City, and 150 kilometers from Changbai Mountain. The Mingdong Highway leading to Changbai Mountain runs through the village.

　　Hongqi Village is the only village inhabited solely by ethnic Koreans along the tourist route from Antu to Changbai Mountain. The village has a total of 100 households. Nestled in a mountain valley and situated near a stream, the village features rows of traditional Korean-style houses neatly lining the creek. Here, visitors can experience the traditional rural charm of the Korean ethnic group. In their leisure time after work, villagers of all ages gather to perform colorful Korean dances, while some often sing ancient and beautiful folk songs. The joyful and festive atmosphere is so enchanting that visitors are often captivated and immersed in the celebration.

　　The Korean people also celebrate many traditional festivals, among which the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival (Shangyuan), Cold Food Festival (Hanshi), Dragon Boat Festival, and Chuseok (Autumn Eve) are the five major holidays. During these festive occasions, villagers sing and dance, and prepare distinctive Korean dishes to entertain guests from afar.

　　If you have the chance to visit Hongqi Village, you can try Korean dishes such as dog meat soup, spicy and fragrant soup, grilled beef, flower vegetables, and sujeonggwa, which will leave an unforgettable impression. Especially memorable are the rice, cold noodles, rice cakes, steamed cakes, and pine-flavored pancakes made by the hardworking and kind-hearted Korean women — they are sweet, cool, and leave a lasting aftertaste.
