What to do and see in Gangneung, Gangwon-do: The Best Things to do

May 15, 2022 Venice Greaves

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.

Jeongdong-Simgok Badabuchae-gil Trail

Reviewed By pl55 - Singapore, Singapore

This 2.8 km walk along the rocky coast can be enjoyed by most and not just the super fit. Do start from the Jeongdong end at the Sun Cruise resort as advised by a tripadvisor reviewer as it's easier to go down the higher steeper stairs here. Try not to be nervous when treading on iron grill steps and boardwalk. I thoroughly enjoyed the walk despite the effort of going up and down stairs in several parts. Although visitors are not supposed to take photos along the walk, many of us tend to forget without any problem fortunately. Upon reaching Simgok, we spotted a waiting cab and hopped into it to head for Chodang Village to have our sundubu lunch.

Gyeongpo Beach

Reviewed By eidsotk - Jakarta, Indonesia

388/5000 view of gyeongpo beach in mid-december 2019. The beach is very beautiful for children to play even though the cold wind blows very hard and big waves. the cold experience while walking paid off with a visit to a very large number of seafood restaurants at affordable prices. about 50% cheaper compared to the same menu at the hotel we stayed.

This beach was very clean and the sand is soft. The water is a bit rough so be careful if you swim. This beach is famous for all the coffee shops along the beach with great views of the ocean.

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.

Reviewed By Jmg_korea - Seoul, South Korea

East Cost Beach of South Korea is a wonderful blue beach colour. its very diffrent with west coast beach. If you have time, you must visit some beach at east side. It will takes more than 3 hours from Seoul. So i suggest you must stay overnight at Sokcho . Donghae side
