Browsing through Korea Tourism Organization's list of festivals, I came across one that promised a traditional tug-of-war contest. That's all I needed to know about the Gimje Horizon Festival before deciding I would attend it. However, I did learn one more interesting thing; I learned that there would be a Guinness World Record attempt for most kites being flown at once. So, now I had two reasons to check out this festival.

If one searches the internet for information about a place called Muju, here's what they may find. Muju county in Jeollabuk-do is a small county of about 25,000 residents located right in the middle of South Korea. Muju has a winter ski resort that boasts the longest trail and the steepest trails in Korea.
