A TRIP TO THE PROVINCE OF GANGWON

Visit in the Spring, Summer, Winter, or Fall – there is much to do, see and eat in the county of Pyeongchang!

Korea is a wonderful place to visit in any season. The colours that wash over the various sights in this country over the course of the four main seasons are almost always picture-perfect. The province of Gangwon, in particular, is one such place blessed with glorious sights all year round. If you ever find yourself in Gangwon, there are at least three different locations you have to set foot in for a true Korean holiday experience. Located in the Gangwon province, the Pyeongchang County is one such place to visit as it is known for its imposing mountains and splendid beaches. Its diverse landscape, excellent natural topography, and location are also a reason why it is the host city of the upcoming 2018 Winter Olympics! Another county, Jeongseon, is known for its rugged, charming, and natural beauty. Gangneung is our final recommendation – the largest city in Gangwon that’s located close to the shore and filled with modern as well as cultural hotspots you must not miss. Cohesively, the three different areas are common and often referred to simply as Pyeongchang.

Best of Pyeongchang: Food

Just thinking about enjoying Korean food is enough to make one drool. If you find yourself in Jeongseon, it will be incredibly easy to find a bowl of Kotdeungchigi (buckwheat noodles), as the dish is representative of the county. The chewy noodles are made by boiling buckwheat noodles and chopped zucchini and green onion with soybean paste. It is relatively easy to find these yummy noodles anywhere in the province, but for an authentic bowl of the good stuff, it is highly recommended that you try it in Jeongseon. Another specialty dish that can be found in this region is the Memil-jeonbyeong (buckwheat crepe). Made by stuffing thin healthy buckwheat flour with radish, Chinese cabbage, and meat, these delicious pockets of goodness are rolled, fried and served piping hot.

Chodang sundubu (Chodang soft tofu) is another dish that is synonymous with the town of Gangneung, Gangwondo. Chodang sundubu features boiled soft tofu keeping its savory taste intact. This soft and slippery dish is light yet tasty. For those who enjoy a little more flavor, seasoning is often added. You can also enjoy a variety of tofu dishes such as dubu jeongol (tofu hotpot) and modeum dubu (tofu set meal) at the many different Chodang sundubu restaurants, located in the village of the same name, just south of the Gyeongpo Lake.

Best of Pyeongchang: Natural Sights

Jumunjin Breakwater is one of the most famous sightseeing spots in Gangneung in 2017. The scenic spot is a great place for a picture opportunity. Its popularity as a romantic destination increased exponentially after a Korean drama utilised this place to film. On weekends, the breakwater is filled with couples trying to replicate on-screen scenes.

Located in Jeongseon-eup, the Byeongbangchi Observatory provides you with captivating views of Bamseom Island and Donggang River. Elevated 583m above ground, the Byeongbangchi Skywalk brandishes thrill and creates the illusion of ‘walking on air’. Visitors who want to head all the way to the edge have to walk on tempered glass, which juts out from the side of the cliff. With unobstructed views for miles on end, this skywalk is one attraction that will take your breath away. For those who want to feel the sand between their feet and the sun on their skin, visit the pristine beaches in the city of Gangneung. Songjeong Beach stretching up to the north of Anmok Beach is one of the few undeveloped natural beaches – making it an ideal and tranquil spot. Despite the lack of tourists flocking to these beaches, the adventures can still enjoy a variety of sea sports, such as kiteboarding!

10 Must-See South Korean Travel Destinations Outside of Seoul

South Korea is a country that is often regarded for its neon-lit metros, technological advancements, rich culture, the Hangul language, and its local delicacies, among others. Its capital Seoul is particularly the torchlight of South Korea. Being the center of the country’s internationally renowned urban life and pop culture, as well as being one of the cities in the world with the largest economy, Seoul is oftentimes seen as the brightest diamond in the entire country. However, Seoul is just one of the many other cities in South Korea. If you’re head over heels over the South Korean capital, wait ‘til you see the places that its fellow cities have to offer.

1. Seopjikoji, Jeju Island

Jeju Island is the largest island and smallest province in South Korea, but there are many beautiful things to see in this 2-square-kilometers stretch of land. Seopjikoji is one area that you should visit while you’re here. Think of it is the Batanes of South Korea. Open skies, green grasslands stretching infinitely, and a front-row view of the ocean.

Also on this island is South Korea’s highest peak, the dormant volcano Hallasan, which stands at 1,950 meters high.

2. Gyeongpo Beach, Gangneung

Forget about the coconut trees, pine trees are the talk here in Gyeongpo Beach. This public beach is the largest in the area, with its white sands stretching for nearly 2 kilometers. It gets especially busy during the months of July to August. Located in the eastern coast city of Gangneung, the beach is the ideal spot for watching the sun rise on New Year’s Day, or on just about any day of the year if you want.

A nearby tourist spot is the Gyeongpo Lake, which is best visited in the springtime, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and gracefully dot the clear waters with pink petals.

3. Seongsan Ilchulbong, a.k.a. Sunrise Peak, Jeju Island

Since we’re talking about sunrises now, let’s go back to Jeju Island and visit the famous Seongsan Ilchulbong, which is more popularly referred to as “Sunrise Peak”. This part of the island was believed to have been formed from the eruption of an underwater volcano. The resulting rock formation contains vital geographical information on the country’s past volcanic activities, and it also serves as a tourist spot known for offering the best view of the South Korean sunrise. From the above, the Sunrise Peak’s crater looks like a giant crown.

4. Boseong Green Tea Plantation, Boseong County

Another geological wonder that makes it on our list is Nakdae Waterfall in the southeastern part of the country, in Cheongdo County, Gyeongsangbuk province. This waterfall stands at a staggering 30 meters high and offers not just a spectacular view, but chilly waters as well, which makes it perfect for summer vacation trips. There is a local belief that the waters of Nakdae are medicinal, although there is no scientific backing to this.

6. Ulleung Island

Ulleung Island, or Ulleung-do, is an island province located 120 kilometers off shore South Korean peninsula. Like Jeju Island, it mostly originated from volcanism. Small as it is, this island is the perfect retreat. Swimming, hiking, fishing, and of course, eating seafood dishes, are the primary activities here in the secluded Ulleungdo.

Ulleung-do is blessed with several geological formations as well. These include the picturesque Bongnae Waterfall, located in the eastern edge of Ulleung-do; and the Liancourt Rocks, which are a group of islets that can be seen from certain areas.

7. Naganeupseong Folk Village, Suncheon

There is always that one place in the country where time has frozen. Naganeupseong is that one place in South Korea where time seems to have forgotten to pass. It is the only place in the country that has remnants of the Joseon dynasty, which was a kingdom that lasted for five centuries (1392 to 1897). This village is where houses are still made of stone, streets are small and narrow, and the population is less than 500.

8. Jukdo Market, Pohang

Pohang City in North Gyeongsang province is one of the most populated South Korean cities. It has an active port, and the Jukdo Market in the heart of the city is one of the busiest seafood markets in the entire country. There are a lot of claims that it has the cheapest price range for seafood and seafood products.

Of course, aside from selling all the seafood you could imagine, the massive Jukdo Market also has endless stretches of stalls that sell food, fruits, clothes, and even furniture. You’ll find everything here, shopaholic.

9. Mt. Gwanggyosan, Gyeonggi

Mt. Gwanggyosan in the province of Gyeonggi is the third highest peak in the country, proudly standing at 582 meters high. It serves as the border between the cities of Suwon and Yongin. This mountain is a famous hiking spot and takes an hour to reach the summit. The peak of Gwanggyosan gives an excellent view of the distant cities in the Gyeonggi province.

Interestingly, Gyeonggi is a province that surrounds the capital city Seoul. In fact, the name of the province roughly translates to “the area surrounding the capital”.

10. Unmun Temple, Gyeongsang

This Buddhist Temple is located amongst the Taebaek Mountains in the North Gyeongsang Province, and has a very peaceful atmosphere suitable for a place of faith. Its name translates to “Cloud Gate Temple” and is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in the region. In 1950, shortly after the end of the Japanese rule, it became a training center for nuns.
