2025 Gangwon State Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

The nearly 1,000-year-old ginkgo tree in Wonju, Gangwon Province, transforms into a stunning golden sphere each autumn. Known as a "living fossil," this ancient tree stands out against the red maple forest, creating an unforgettable autumn landscape. Legend has it that the tree sprouted from a monk’s staff, and locals believe a white snake lives within, so visitors are advised not to touch it. Located about 130 km east of Seoul, it’s easily reachable by both private and public transport. 📍Address: Gangwon-do, Wonju-si, Munmak-eup, Bangye-ri, 1496-1 KR #voyagevibes

Last year's trip to Gangwon-do. Today, I went on a gallery trip. I went to Gangneung and Samcheok in Gangwon-do, and I went there and ate Makguksu at a famous Makguksu restaurant, and I also saw the East Sea and had a healing time :) The water in the Gangwon-do sea is so clear that it's great for being in a daze. I think the smell of the sea in winter is especially nice. It's cold, but I think I can enjoy a little leisurely feeling. ㅎㅎ When you travel to Gangwon-do, don't forget to visit the sea in addition to the famous restaurants in the area!! + The night view is the night view of Samcheok Sol Beach 🌃 #Gangwon-do travel #Memories #Everyday life as a trip #Youth travel #Autumn travel destination #Friendship travel #Exotic #View restaurant #Walking course #Suburban travel #Travel addiction #Emotional #Life travel destination #Night view spot #Everyday life as a trip #Historical site tour #Drive course #Summer

It was a course that drove along the coast of Gangwon-do from Yangyang to Donghae. It was interesting to see the city center of Donghae centered around Mukho and the port side. Most ports are rough and located on the coast, and the city center is a bit far away, but this place is the complete opposite. It was nice because the route was short. The large industrial facilities in Donghae and Samcheok were impressive. The sense of pressure was overwhelming. There was a long line to take pictures at Chotdaebawi Rock, the suspension bridge was free, and Haslla Museum charged an admission fee of about 20,000 won. #SummerCapture #RestaurantExploration #SafeTravel #Cafe

Sun rising from the ocean. Feel the place, peace, freedom, harmony of life and every single moment. Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.” — Buddha #tripaway

There are not many Chinese tourists in Gangwon-do. Most of the tourists are staying in Seoul. I also watched the EXO video to know that there are many places to play. Take an adventure to Gangwon Province. It is the northern part of Korea and the coldest place. I checked the weather before I came. When Seoul was a dozen degrees ago, it was at -4° - 4°, and the temperature difference between morning and evening was great. Going to Gangwon-do can take a high-speed rail or rent a car. In fact, renting a car is quite convenient. After landing from Incheon Airport in Seoul, drive directly to Gangwon-do. About three hours later, I took a break in the service area. What surprised me was that the high-speed service station actually ate so much, and the service station was very clean. Resting service area: Lingdong Expressway - Longren Service Area When you need to pick up the card at the same level as in China, there is no Chinese on it, but the operation is the same. Because dinner is BBQ, we went to the supermarket to purchase some ingredients before going to the place to stay. The things inside are quite rich. EMART (Egawa E-Mart) Address: 684 Chungcheongbuk-do, Jeongcheon-dong, Gangdung-dong, 684 evening, it is a place to stay, here is a caravan camp . The owner is a Korean couple, and then they look like Koreans, a strong artist. The male owner does not like to talk very much, always doing things silently. The RV here is designed by themselves. I found his territory in the warehouse next to me.

#springwander Last weekend, I had the chance to visit the Cheorwon Flower Festival in Gangwon-do, and it was an unforgettable experience. As I entered the festival grounds, I was immediately surrounded by a stunning display of colorful flowers in full bloom. The vibrant fields of sunflowers, cosmos, and wildflowers stretched as far as the eye could see, creating a breathtaking view. The festival was well-organized, with scenic walking trails that allowed visitors to take in the beauty of the flowers up close. I especially loved the sunflower field, where the bright yellow petals seemed to glow under the sunlight. There were also plenty of photo zones, making it the perfect place to capture beautiful memories. Aside from the flowers, the festival offered a variety of local food stalls, cultural performances, and hands-on activities. I enjoyed tasting some traditional Korean street food while listening to live music in the background. The combination of natural beauty and lively atmosphere made the experience even more enjoyable. Cheorwon’s peaceful countryside and stunning floral landscapes make this festival a must-visit for anyone who loves nature. If you’re looking for a refreshing escape from the city, the Cheorwon Flower Festival is definitely worth experiencing! #koreatrip

#springwander Last weekend, I had the pleasure of visiting the Daisy Flower Festival at Pyeongok Mountain in Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do. As soon as I arrived, I was greeted by endless fields of pure white daisies swaying gently in the breeze. The sight was absolutely breathtaking, creating a dreamy, fairy-tale-like atmosphere. The festival grounds were well-organized, with walking trails that allowed visitors to fully immerse themselves in the beauty of the flowers. Along the paths, there were scenic photo spots where I captured some unforgettable moments. The crisp mountain air and the fragrance of fresh daisies made the experience even more refreshing. Besides the stunning floral views, the festival also featured local food stalls, handmade crafts, and live music performances. I enjoyed some delicious regional delicacies while relaxing under the warm autumn sun. The peaceful ambiance of the mountain, combined with the charm of the daisies, made it a truly special experience. 💞Reasons to Recommend:The Pyeongok Mountain Daisy Flower Festival is a perfect getaway for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts. If you’re looking for a serene and picturesque destination, I highly recommend visiting this hidden gem in Pyeongchang! #koreatrip

#koreatrip Build a picturesque house on that green meadow and make a real version!! In the midst of intense city life, everyone at least once dreamed of running a small cafe in the countryside and living a leisurely life, but this is the reality of this imagination. It is not on a green meadow, but it is a “rustic life” that is quietly operated in the nature of Hongcheon. As the name of the cafe suggests, you can feel the vibe of rural life in the whole cafe. A year ago, there was only one building, but as the cafe became famous, it was reborn as a better cafe by creating two or three private spaces. If you make a reservation in advance, you can use a private space with your acquaintances, and the spaces are surrounded by trees. If 4-5 people visit together, you can enjoy the luxury of enjoying coffee and refreshments with your friends in a private space in nature. The system that accepts coffee and refreshments in a basket at the counter and moves to a private space is very different because it is the first time I have seen it in a cafe. If you want to have a leisurely cup of coffee with your acquaintances in a private space in the countryside, don't forget to stop by when you visit Hongcheon. I think this is probably the most emotionally successful place among these country cafes with Wolbakgo in Ewha. * Address: 70 Soksae-gil, Yeongguimi-myeon, Hongcheon-gun, Gangwon-do, South Korea. * Open Hours: Everyday 10:00 - 22:00 * Ordered menu : Coffee 10000
