Buckwheat in bloom

Visitors stroll through a field of blooming buckwheat flowers at the Waheul Buckwheat Village in Jocheon-eup, Jeju City, on Oct. 12. The village is holding its "Jacheongbi Waheul Buckwheat Culture Festival," held every autumn, through Nov. 11. It also holds a similar festival in the springtime, as buckwheat flowers bloom around May and October on the resort island.
