Things to do in Gangneung, Gangwon-do: The Best Specialty Museums

October 7, 2021 Darwin Bolte

The sun rises just a bit more beautifully in Gangneung, particularly in nearby Jeongdongjin, where watching the dawn break on the South Korean horizon is an epic experience and a national New Year's pastime. The beaches and museums are splendid, and Gangneung’s unique parks are worthy of exploration. Kids will be awed by the submarine and warship at Tongil Park, while adults will go nuts for the dramatic architecture and contemporary works of Haslla Art World.

Ojukheon

Reviewed By M_Raman - Jamnagar, India

Ojukheon House is an exquisitely preserved part of the Korean history which is definitely worth a vist. It is a peaceful place which houses the old house where Yuglok and his mother lived, museums showcasing korean history and lifestyle during various eras. The digitized images of Sin Saimdang's paintings are a beautiful sight. We visited during autumn and the fall foliage adds a unique charm to the place and makes it even more aesthetically pleasing.
