The Hampyeong Butterfly Festival

Surrounded by mountains and a rugged coastline featuring nearly 2,000 islands, South Jeolla Province offers travelers a lot to see and do. Last spring a friend and I rented a car and visited several sights. One of the places we visited was the Hampyeong Butterfly Festival (함평나비대축제). With its 2009 fête getting underway later this week, now seems like a good time to take another look.
