#2024WishEvent Personally, I chose Gapyeong Jaraseom as the place that would be the best precious travel destination in 2023 after thinking about a place that would be suitable for the wish event. The biggest reason I chose it as the best travel destination in 2023 is that it is a place that will be remembered for a long time enough to think about visiting again. This is because while many tourist attractions in Gapyeong are places with a price range, Jaraseom is free.
