2025 Pyeongchang-gun Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in February)

It was a winter trip with family to Pyeongchang, Korea . We began our trip to Pyeongchang with a visit to Woljeongsa Temple. Walking along the famous Fir Tree Forest Trail, covered in a soft blanket of snow ⛄️ felt like stepping into a winter fairy tale. We arrived in the afternoon, around 3:00 PM, to catch the golden light filtering through the 🌲 . It was perfect for taking peaceful, Instagram-worthy photos 📸 of the snowy path and the ancient temple. The serenity of the temple during winter is unmatched, and we highly recommend it for anyone visiting Pyeongchang. 📍374-8, Odaesan-ro, Jinbu-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do, South Korea We started our day at Alpensia Ski Resort, which is ideal for winter sports like skiing 🎿 and snowboarding 🏂 Even if you don’t ski, the resort offers fantastic views of snow-covered slopes, making it a great spot for photography 📸 We recommend visiting early in the morning, around 8:00 AM to capture the fresh snow and enjoy the quieter slopes. 📍325, Solbong-ro, Daegwallyeong-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do, South Korea In the afternoon, we headed to the Daegwallyeong Sheep 🐑 Farm, which is stunning in winter. The rolling white hills dotted with sheep create a unique and picturesque winter scene. We recommend arriving around 2:00 PM for softer lighting and to enjoy feeding the sheep while taking plenty of adorable photos 📸 The farm is a peaceful escape and perfect for family-friendly fun. 📍483-32, Daegwallyeongmaru-gil, Daegwallyeong-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do, South Korea Besides, we also visited Yongpyong Ski Resort, one of Korea’s largest and most scenic ski resorts and it definitely is my favourite place 🙌 The panoramic views of snow-covered mountains from the Dragon Peak Observatory (accessible by gondola) were absolutely breathtaking. The best time to visit is early morning 900 AM to avoid crowds. Do include this place if you are a big fan of ski ⛷️ 🙌 📍715, Olympic-ro, Daegwallyeong-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do, South Korea This itinerary was one of our favorite winter adventures, and we’d recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, snow-filled getaway! #koreatrip #getaway #vacation

#WinterTravel #PyeongchangTravel Perhaps this is the place that transforms into the prettiest pizza place in Korea in winter. A pizza oven filled with snowy scenery🔥 I fell in love with that feeling and ran from Busan to Pyeongchang in one go. I really wouldn't have gone here. I'm definitely going to run there this year too🥹 Pizza enjoyed in a nice atmosphere is perfect as a snack🍕 - - 📍Napoli Pizza Daegwallyeong Main Branch 5105-2 Gyeonggang-ro, Daegwallyeong-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do

#WinterTravel #PyeongchangTravel Winter is finally here again! What's more exciting than Christmas? It's a winter outing to see the snow🩵 Pyeongchang, called the Sapporo of Korea! This is one of the reasons why you absolutely must go to Gangpo-ro this year The top of Balwangsan Mountain Isn't this just another country?🥹 It was really cold and hard, but I couldn't stop smiling. I'm definitely going to go this year too! I recommend it🩵 - - 📍Balwangsan Mountain Gangwon Pyeongchang-gun Daegwallyeong-myeon Yongsan-ri San 142

A place with such a beautiful view of wind power plants It's not Sapporo! It's located in Gangwon-do☺️ The best part was after driving up to the top! We stopped here and there to take pictures wherever we wanted It wasn't cold and it was nice to take pictures wherever we wanted📸✨ Make lots of memories in Gangpo-ro, not Sapporo❣️ 📍#Pyeongchang #SamyangRoundHill #SamyangRanch @samyangroundhill 〰 708-9 Kkotbatyangji-gil, Daegwallyeong-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do ⏰09:00 ~ 17:00 💰Adults 12,000 won / Children 10,000 won 𝐓𝐢𝐩 - When you drive up to the top, there are many wind power generators, but since there are a lot of people at the top, it'll be pretty if you take pictures from the wind power generators in the middle! - It's not ice but ice that is extremely slippery and soft to the touch, so gloves and non-slip shoes are a must!! - When snow removal work is in progress, you can only enter the plaza and the observatory is not accessible, so please check with @samyangroundhill before visiting! - 1,000 won discount when making a reservation on Naver!

In a snowy white world, a pure white wind turbine adds emotion, and all the photos you take are photos of your life! It's a place you must visit for a winter snow trip, so check out the tips and come see the beautiful winter kingdom🤍 📍Samyang Round Hill (formerly Samyang Ranch) 🍯TIP, ▫️When to visit: It's best to visit the day after it snows when the sun is shining brightly! Avoid foggy or windy days, and be sure to call or check the real-time snow removal status on the Samyang Round Hill Instagram story⭐️ ▫Vehicle: Make sure to visit with a vehicle! The land is so wide that there are so many photo zones! Everyone takes a lot of photos at the top, but when you go up, don't stop and go up, and on the way down, stop at the photo zone you like and take pictures📷 ▫️Clothing: Match ivory-toned clothes with clothes with a bright color! And because it's so, so cold, winter gear is a must… Heattech gloves, earmuffs, scarf, hot pack, please bring everything you can. 🥹🌨️ #Gangwon-do travel #Gangwon-do travel destination #Places to visit in Gangwon-do #Gangwon-do hot place #Recommended Gangwon-do travel destination #Pyeongchang #Pyeongchang travel #Places to visit in Pyeongchang #Pyeongchang hot place #Samyang ranch #Daegwallyeong Samyang ranch #Daegwallyeong Samyang round hill #Samyang round hill #Daegwallyeong travel

This is the perfect Pyeongchang travel course when it's rainy or cloudy! It seemed like there were more families with children than couples like us, but it's a place that both children and adults can enjoy, so I recommend it as a Pyeongchang travel course🩷 The Marlon dolls, including Mimi and Juju, which we loved back then, were so pretty, and the teddy bears that we couldn't miss and even the works of artists who modeled the dolls! There were so many things to see that the admission fee was worth it at all🔥 - - 📍Vienna Doll Museum 🧭296 Solbong-ro, Daegwallyeong-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do Vienna Doll Museum ⏰️10:00-18:00 #Gangwon-do travel #Pyeongchang travel

#ExcitingSummerVacation #SafeTravel #SummerCapture #HoKangs The coolest summer in our country Average elevation 700 meters Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do!!! I went to Heungjeong Valley, which is the coolest of the cool places. Unlike the cold sea water in the hot summer, it is ice water here. It is so cool~^^ The nature is beautiful and the water depth is just right, so it is safe. You can rent tubes and life jackets at the store in front of the valley. It is relatively cheap, so I recommend you use it to enjoy playing in the water.

A #korea #winter moment to remember, this is during early December. It was early winter , the temperature was nice (around 7-10). I’m so lucky to experience snowfall during the stay and to see this colorful leaves as in fall season. 10 days seoul-busan-seoul trip was a wonderful experience for us. Challenging in handling 4 kids by our own has become a sweet memory journey for us. places visited in Busan: 1.) BFF ( Busan Film Festival) 2.) Jagalchi Market 3.) Sangdo Bay Station / Sangdo Sky Park Seoul: 1.) Itaewon 2.) Everland 3.) Yongpyeong Ski Resort + Monapark (the only resort that open in early winter) 4.) Namsan Tower 5.) Gyeoungbokgun Palace 6.) Lotte world 7.) Shopping in Myeongdong We skipped some other famous places because we already visited in the past few years. But here are other places suggestions (if you have more budget and time) 1.) Jeju Island 2.) Nami Island 3.) Gamcheon culture village (Busan) 4.) Haeundae Beach (Busan) 5.) Taejongdae Park (Busan) 6.) Gwangalli Bridge (Busan) 7.) Nampo Dong Market (Busan) 8.) Munghwa University 9.) Hanok Village 10.)

Winter of ‘23 Located in Pyeongchang, Gangwondo I was in Gangneung to enjoy the beach in the winter. Found a small town nearby hosting an ice festival. It was on the stream/river of the town. They have sledding, a mini maze, and sculptures to look at. When I went the had a game for catching the “wild boar” and if you pull a flag you’ll get a prize. They have a food court area next to it. I also went to the sheep farm too. It was a 15 minute cab ride from the bus station. They also have a shuttle bus to and from the sheep farm, Daegwallyeong Yangette Farm. The ice festival is about a 10 minute walk from Hoenggye bus terminal. The shuttle bus also departs from here it is red. The bus terminal is together with a gas station. #snow #icesculptures #Snowfestival #sheep #Sheepfarm

It was a space where you could feel true healing while enjoying the wonderful ski resort view🎿⛷️One of the F&B is a service that can create a camping atmosphere and you can choose between a buffet. In the case of camping, various foods such as ramen, fish cake, meat, and marshmallows are also included~! Also, in the case of Sky Royal, it is a very spacious room that families can go to, and it has 2 rooms, so it is a comfortable space to sleep~ In addition, there is a separate space to watch TV, so it seems like a good place to go for a vacation or a concert👍 💎Phoenix Pyeongchang Sky Royal Room 1 Night 🍽Unlimited breakfast and F&B provided ⛷2-day ski lift pass provided 🎿2-day clothing and equipment rental pass provided 👩🏻‍🏫Introductory ski lesson pass (first-come, first-served) 🚡2-day tourist gondola pass provided 🏊🏻‍♂️Blue Canyon Winter Spa pass provided ❄️Snow Village sledding pass provided” #Hotel review #Ski resort #Ski resort accommodation #Pyeongchang #Pyeongchang travel #Pyeongchang places to visit #Pyeongchang accommodation

A snowy landscape that can only be seen if the timing is right! I heard on the weather forecast that it would snow in Gangwon-do, so I rushed to Daegwallyeong~ I was worried that I would be disappointed since the surrounding Gangwon-do region didn't have any snow, but I was greeted by a truly beautiful landscape! I wanted to see a vast snowy landscape, and there were two options: Daegwallyeong Samyang Ranch and Sky Ranch. Samyang Ranch is the more famous, but you can only enter Samyang Ranch after the snow removal is finished. However, Sky Ranch was open even before the snow removal was finished~ Please call before you visit! Instead, there was no train running inside the ranch, but thanks to that, I was able to step on the crisp, fresh snow that no one had stepped on for the first time~ 📍Location: 458-23 Kkotbatyangji-gil, Daegwallyeong-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do 📍Time: Winter 09:00 – 17:30 / Summer 09:00 – 18:00 📍Tip: There are several courses, so it is recommended to check in advance and go up! Be sure to check the operation status before visiting! #Tourist attraction review #Sky Ranch #Daegwallyeong Sheep Ranch #Gangwon-do travel #Snow flower travel #Winter travel #Daegwallyeong travel

#seoul We always love train rides especially in countries where trains are not only regarded as important transportation, but also being very efficient and undeniably very fast ! We had both experienced the ordinary class and business class. Both are good though. Sure thing is, business class has less people onboard with more comfy, spacious seat. So this was our route Seoul - Pyeongchang, Jinbu (Odaesan) - Seoul. Memorable train journey indeed. One of the train highlights is the wireless charger attached to the seat. No more hassle finding your plug yada yada yada. Simply insert the mobile phone and tadaaaaaa, the battery is recharged promptly. Wonderful experience every time arriving at a new town/station and looking forward for more train rides in future ! #mytripvlog #tripleblazer

You should plan your time wisely before visiting!

#Ski resort #Winter travel Alpensia slope where I was amazed by the scenery while skiing. If you go early in the season, there will be fewer people, so if you are a beginner, I recommend going according to the opening schedule. (I will definitely refer to it next year😉) It is also beautiful at night, so don't forget to go out for a while and take pictures!

#asiatrip #nationalpark #naturalwonders #urbanexplorer Woljeongsa Temple is located in the dense forest of a valley found in the east of the Odaesan Mountain in Dongsan-ri, Jinbu-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do. Woljeongsa Temple, which is found at a quiet place where the vital force of Manwolsan Mountain has gathered, exudes a quiet and peaceful beauty surrounded by evergreen needleleaf trees. In front of it, Geumgangyeon, where Manchurian trouts swim in the clear and cold water, flows displaying a beautiful scenery.

It's a better resort than a hotel. Highly recommended for a family trip!

#Camping #Backpacking I went backpacking in Seolsan in March A hot pack was a must since it was a snowy mountain! As expected, Seonjaryeong, one of the top 3 backpacking spots in Korea, was amazing!! It was so much fun to camp in a place where the snow was up to my knees^^

it was the second time I played skiing. the tour guide said snowboarding is way more fun than skiing, but I don’t think I can handle that so I chose skiing. it was really fun though!!!!🥰#travel

#Snowflower Tourist attraction. Pyeongchang Balwangsan Cable Car Location. 715 Olympic-ro, Daegwallyeong-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do Operating hours: 10 AM to 6 PM (Weekends: 9 AM to 7 PM) The number one snowflower travel destination is Gangwon-do, and Pyeongchang is one of the places with the most tourists. In winter, hikers flock to see the snowflowers, and the place I'm going to introduce to you is Balwangsan. You can see the spectacular snowflowers by simply taking the cable car up without hiking. The cable car is quite long and high, so I think I rode it for about 20 minutes, and it was even better because I could play music. (Bluetooth speaker) When you get to the top, there is a walking course, so you can walk for about 30 minutes. There is also a famous spring, so I hope you have a sip! Oh, you should check the cable car in advance. They say the line is so long that you have to wait for more than an hour on weekends. It was fine on a weekday when I visited. And it's colder at the top than below where it's flat, so you should prepare your outerwear properly. #Pyeongchang #Snow Flower Travel #Hot Place

Daegwallyeong Snow Flower Village Sledding Hill is open from 10 AM to 4 PM, and the last admission is at 3 PM. There are sledding courses for children to thrilling bobsleigh courses, so everyone can have fun.

Location. Taegi-ro 228-95, Bongpyeong-myeon, Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do, South Korea Check-in from 3pm There are many accommodations in Pyeongchang, but surprisingly, there are not many family hotels where 3 generations can stay together. In particular, it is not easy to find accommodations for a large family trip of 6 or more people with 3 generations, but I would like to introduce you to a very suitable accommodation. White Hotel is located in Bongpyeong-myeon, Pyeongchang, so you can think of it as the entrance to Gangwon-do. It is a three-bed room, so your parents can use one room and the rest of the family can use the remaining two rooms. Each room has a bathroom, so it is very private and convenient, and it is a place that even sensitive people will be satisfied with. The dining table is also spacious enough for 6 people, and the view of the nature right next to it is also very great, so my parents liked it more. Breakfast is also provided, but it was not included for us, so we simply ate in the room. Unfortunately, it seems that cooking is not allowed. (It is a hotel, so I understand.) There were flower arrangement experiences and various concerts, so we were not bored while staying. A personal tip is that there are occasional events on the official website, so if you check the prices carefully, you can get special deals. Although it is in Pyeongchang, it is a good place to stay for going to places like Woljeongsa Temple in Odaesan because it is at the entrance, and since Wonju is also close, there are various travel courses. It seems to be a place where many tourists who ski and snowboard gather in the middle of winter. If you are traveling to Gangwon-do with your family! I strongly recommend this hotel. #Pyeongchang White Hotel #Family Travel Accommodation

🌏 Hye-sun Travel Moment #Pyeongchang #Odaesan 📍 Location: Woljeongsa Temple, 374-8 Odaesan-ro, Jinbu-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do 📍 Admission: 5,000 won The quiet and densely packed #Odaesan fir forest path You can feel like you're being healed🌳 just by walking along it😊 If you walk along the path, you can see #Woljeongsa Temple, the headquarters of the 4th district of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism. In addition to the temple's appearance in harmony with beautiful nature, you can also see Treasure No. 139, the stone seated Bodhisattva statue! #PleaseWinter #PyeongchangTravel #OdaesanNationalPark #DomesticTravelRecommendations #WithNature #PlacesToVisitInPyeongchang

Daegwallyeong Sheep Ranch is the only ranch that raises sheep. The sheep grazing field is surrounded by a 1.2 meter-long circular walkway, so visitors can view the sheep at all times during their visit. It takes about 40 minutes to walk along this path. A wooden shack located in the field appeared as a backdrop of the movie "The Man from Mars." The wooden shack fits perfectly with the sheep farm, and has become a popular photo site. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

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.

The most famous dish in Korea, bibimbap is one of them. When it comes to bibimbap, you must go to Jingjiang Garden to taste it. I have read the Korean drama "The Diner" and remembered the sauce tank that appeared in the drama. It is true that the drama crew used the sauce tank in the Jingjiangyuan Korean Food Experience Hall. Therefore, this is also a Korean drama fan who has to experience it. One place. Into the yard full of sauce tanks, I feel that the Korean drama is breathtaking. The bibimbap in Jingjiang Garden has many kinds of ingredients. Under the guidance of the staff in the store, the ingredients are put into the rice noodles and then placed in the flowers. It evenly mixes up and eats his own mixed rice in this quiet yard, and feels very good.

#favouriteitinerary My experience at Yongpyong Ski Resort was an absolute winter delight! The resort's scenic mountain location provided the perfect setting for a day of snowy fun. The slopes were beautifully maintained, catering to skiers and snowboarders of all levels. I thoroughly enjoyed the variety of trails, each offering its own unique challenge and stunning vistas. The après-ski scene was equally impressive, with inviting lodges and warm, comforting drinks that made for a cozy retreat after an action-packed day. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, ensuring a seamless experience. Yongpyong Ski Resort is a must-visit for snow enthusiasts seeking adventure and relaxation. Highly recommended!
