Chuncheon City is a water source of the Han river that drove the economic development of the Republic of Korea and is the Leisure City. It is surrounded by the natural environment gifted by heaven, encompassed by Mt. Samak and Geombong and the lakeside laid with Soyang and northern Han rivers.

It has been known as the City of Festivals that is full of lyricism and speaking by proxy of features of the local community such as International Mime Festival, Chuncheon Dolly Play Festival, Chuncheon International Plays Festival, Soyang Folk Festival and Bomnae Art Festival.

It has also developed a Knowledge-Culture Industry structure including IT, Animation, Game, Multimedia, Biotech, etc from the mid 1990 years focusing on environment-friendly and Hi-tech sectors and based on Culture & Art. This gives the City of Dreams that is animated by culture & art a dynamic image of the vivid 21st Century.

Weatherwise, Chuncheon averages 20~22degrees Centigrade in air temperature with a rainfall of under 10mm and low wind velocity of 1 meter up and down in the early September when the Championships take place.
