Introduction
Muan is the largest habitat of the White Lotus flower in Asia, spanning 330,000 m2 in size. While most lotus flowers are pink, the lotus flowers in Muan are snow white, which is very rare. During the Muan White Lotus Festival, visitors can enjoy a landscape filled with white lotus flowers and lotus-themed activites.

Different kinds of lotus can be observed at the natural learning garden of water plants, which is on the way to the venue.

Introduction Bibimbap is a signature Korean dish. The word literally means "mixed rice". Bibimbap is served as a bowl of warm white rice topped with namul (sauteed and seasoned vegetables) and gochujang (chili pepper paste). A raw or fried egg and sliced meat (usually beef) are common additions. The ingredients are stirred together thoroughly just before eating. It can be served either cold or hot.
