Everland, operated by Samsung C&T's resort division, announced Monday that it will roll out a range of chuseok holiday programs featuring twin pandas Rui Bao and Hui Bao from Thursday through Sunday.

Visitors can take part in the "Bao Family Sticker Challenge," completing missions at panda-themed spots across the park — including Panda World, the Second House and Bao House — while meeting Rui Bao, Hui Bao and other pandas in person. Those who fill their sticker books will receive a limited-edition photo card that includes handwritten notes from panda keepers Kang Cheol-won and Song Young-gwan.

A chuseok-exclusive gift set capturing the charm of Rui Bao and Hui Bao has also been prepared for the holiday. It features newly released merchandise from the "Rui and Hui's Corners of Korea" line — including keyrings, fans and mirrors — along with special bonus items.

The festival content zone, currently operating as Rui and Hui's "rural getaway" area, features special photo zones themed around Jeju Island and Hadong-gun in South Gyeongsang Province.

During the holiday, staff dressed in hanbok will greet visitors at Everland's main entrance to set a festive chuseok mood. Traditional folk games such as yutnori and ttakji-chigi will be held at Carnival Plaza.

Everland's autumn festival is also currently underway. Throughout the chuseok holiday, visitors can enjoy a wide range of seasonal offerings to suit different tastes — from a safari walking expedition and an immersive horror performance to motorsports.

The newly launched "Wild Savanna Expedition" lets guests walk through the safari and observe a variety of animals up close. At "Blood City Zero," the park's signature horror zone for the autumn season, visitors can encounter zombies and watch immersive horror performances.

"This chuseok, we have prepared a rich lineup of autumn content — from special holiday programs with Rui Bao and Hui Bao to performances, merchandise and food," an Everland official said. "We hope visitors will come and create warm chuseok memories with their families and friends at Everland."
