The festival aims to promote and showcase the unique culture and destinations of South Korea, Vietnam and Hanoi. Through the event, the organizers also hope to further strengthen the cooperation between the two countries in the fields of culture, economy, education and tourism.

This place preserves many traditional cultural features of the land of Kimchi (Korea's national dish) with many centuries-old villages, famous landmarks and unique traditional cultural festivals.

Gyeongbuk is an "open-air museum" where visitors can enjoy many UNESCO World Heritage Sites, such as the National Buddhist Temple, Seokguram Grotto, Bulguksa Temple and Gyeongju Relics.
