14 Places To Visit In Gangwon Province! \ Korea \ JQLeeJQ
I had the opportunity to visit Korea two months ago, specifically touring around Gangwon Province (Gangwon-do) where the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics will be held at.
Gangwon-do is an up and coming province to go around when you are in Korea, specifically areas such as Gangneung and PyeongChang are two major hotspots that are absolutely beautiful for travellers.
Here’s are the 14 places that I suggest visiting when in Gangwon-do:
PyeongChang 2018 Olympic House
Jumunjin Beach (Goblin K-Drama Shooting Location)
Jumunjin Fish Market
Samcheok Sol Beach Resort
Galgol Han-gwa Village
Lunch at Seojichogateul (Have a healthy Korean Set Meal)
Gangneung Ice Arena
Bohemian Roasters Factory & Cafe in Gangneung
Ojukheon (Saimdang K-Drama Shooting Location)
Seongyojang (Saimdang K-Drama Shooting Location)
Phoenix Ski Resort
Alpensia Ski Jump Stadium & Lounge
YongPyong Resort’s Dragon Peak (Goblin K-Drama Shooting Location)

Hope this helps with planning your Gangwon Trip!

10. Dadohae Haesang National Park
At the bottom of South Korea is the Dadohae Haesang National Park, 1,700 islands spread out across the southern coastal waters. These islets vary in size with some home to isolated communities while some hold merely a few dozen trees. Cheongsando is one of the larger islands. Translated to ‘Blue Mountain Island’, it’s a ‘slow city’ meaning it’s one of the best places to discover genuine and authentic culture.
09. Suwon
Suwon is the largest metropolis of Gyeonggi-do, the province which surrounds Seoul. The Hwaseong Fortress was built in 1794 by the Joseon dynasty ruler King Jeongjo with the aim to move the capital from Seoul to Suwon. However, before this could happen King Jeongjo died and power stayed in Seoul.
08. Busan
South Korea’s second biggest city, Busan brings together tropical beaches and majestic mountains, ancient Buddhist temples and a glamorous film festival. Busan is famous for its delicious seafood with many restaurants and the Jagalchi fish market. For incredible vistas of the intriguing city, hike to the top of Jangan Mountain. While many of Korea’s temples are nestled in hills and mountains, the Haedong Yonggung Temple is on Busan’s coast overlooking the Sea of Japan.
07. Pyeongchang
A peaceful place with astonishing scenery, Pyeongchang has seen a lot of development in recent years. It’s found in the Taeback Mountains region with parts of it sitting 2,300 feet above sea level. With lots of seasonal snow and maximum temperatures reaching just above freezing in January, it’s the perfect location for the 2018 Winter Olympics.
06. Andong & Hahoe Folk Villages
Andong’s peaceful, rural surroundings are in stark contrast to the buzz of Seoul. Set in the heart of Gyeongsangbuk-do, Andong is noted for having preserved much of its traditional spirit. A great place to see Korean traditions unfold is the cultural village of Hahoe, where the noble Ryu family originated and have lived for the past 600 years.
05. The Demiliterized Zone (DMZ)
The Korean DMZ or Korean Demilitarized Zone is a buffer zone between North and South Korea. Created in 1953 at the end of the Korean War, the DMZ remains as one of the most militarized regions in the world.
04. Jeju Island
Although it lies only 85km off the coast of South Korea, Jeju Island (more specifically Jeju-do) has developed its own unique history, traditional dress, architecture and linguistic traditions. With a moderate climate that differs surprisingly from the mainland, Jeju-do has a sub-tropical southern side and a more temperate northern region.
03. Seoraksan National Park
Designated as a Biosphere Protection Site by UNESCO, the 400 000 sq km Seoraksan National Park’s unique rock formations, wildlife, hot springs, dense woodland and temples from the Silla-era make it an area of South Korea that simply has to be visited. Each area of this incredibly beautiful park has its own unique appeal and attractions.
02. Gyeongju
Once the capital of the ancient kingdom of Silla, Gyeongju is a coastal city in South Korea with a rich selection of cultural and historical attractions. Its Silla heritage stretches back over 1000 years, with ancient sites, relics and ruins found throughout the city. The Gyeongju National Museum is home to countless treasures and the 23 ton Emille Bell cast in AD771. Gyeongju's other highlights include the scenic Anapji Pond, Tumuli Park which is the site of incredible giant grass-covered burial mounds and the ancient UNESCO World Heritage Listed Bulguk-sa Temple.
01. Seoul
The vibrant, modern city of Seoul definitively lives up to the ‘24-hour party’ tag that other cities can only pay lip service to. A buzzing urban expanse that is striving to reshape its hardened concrete and steel edges with gorgeous city parks, cultural landmarks and tasteful design. You’ll find a host of exciting places to eat, drink, shop and relax, whether you’re in Hongdae’s chic bars and restaurants or the stylish boutiques of Apgujeong.

Best places in Korea - Daegu
3 great activities to do in Daegu, South Korea, a city in the southern region of the country. Over 2 days we went zip-lining at a place called Hillcrest, went to E-World amusement park in the evening, and rode tandem bikes and segways along Nakdong River at a place called The Arc (an interesting and odd looking structure in Daegu).
We got around to these places by taxi, bus, and subway which were all pretty cheap and easy to use. After The Arc we actually had help from the segway rental guy to use the Kakao Taxi app and call a cab for us to get back to the train station.

7. Hahoe Folk Village
The Hahoe Folk Village is a traditional village from the Joseon Dynasty. The village is a valuable part of Korean culture because it preserves Joseon period-style architecture, folk traditions, valuable books, and old tradition of clan-based villages. The village is located in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do.
6. Insadong Shopping Street
Insadong is a dong, or neighborhood of the Jongno-gu district of the South Korean city of Seoul. The main street is Insadong-gil, which is connected to a multitude of alleys that lead deeper into the district, with modern galleries and tea shops. At one time it was the largest market for antiques and artworks in Korea.
5. N Seoul Tower
The N Seoul Tower is a communication and observation tower located on Namsan Mountain in central Seoul. It marks the highest point in Seoul. Many visitors ride the Namsan cable car up the Mt. Namsan to walk to the tower. The tower is renowned as a national landmark, and for its cityscape.
4. Seoraksan National Park
Seoraksan is the highest mountain in the Taebaek mountain range in the Gangwon Province in eastern South Korea. It is located in a national park near the city of Sokcho. After the Hallasan volcano on Jeju Island and Jirisan in the south, Seoraksan is the third highest mountain in South Korea.
3. Gyeongju
Gyeongju, a previous capital city of one of the Korean kingdoms, is possibly the foremost location in Korea where ancient buildings, burial grounds and artifacts can be found. Driving through this city you will notice that the typical modern Korean buildings are frequently interspersed with large burial mounds.
2. Demilitarized Zone
The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) runs along the complete 248 km land border between North Korea and South Korea and is 4 km wide. Visiting the peace village of Panmunjeom covers tours from both from North Korea and South Korea for that specific part of the DMZ.
1. Changdeokgung Palace
Changdeokgung — also known as Changdeokgung Palace or Changdeok Palace — is set within a large park in Jongno-gu, Seoul. It is one of the Five Grand Palaces built by the kings of the Joseon Dynasty (1392--1897). Changdeokgung was the most favored palace of many Joseon princes and retained many elements dating from the Three Kingdoms of Korea period that were not incorporated in the more contemporary Gyeongbokgung.
