Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in Gangneung, Gangwon-do
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.

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.

Established on March 20, 1918, Jumunjin Lighthouse was the first lighthouse in the Gangwon-do region. The lighthouse is 3m in diameter at the base and 10m in height with white mortar covering the exterior wall. The building shows the early structure of the country’s lighthouse architecture, which is a great value in terms of the nation’s architectural history. The light signal blinks at 15-second

Just stay keep calm. I like the moment. You can see the beautiful lake and much inspiration would come to u! Having relax. 쉼을 생각하며 머물길 추천, 호수를 보며 시간대마다 각각 다른 엉감이 나에게 다가왔다. 마치 시도 예술도 나에게서 나올것만 같은 정취적인 장소

Located near Jumunjin beach, you will be impressed by the stunning view of ocean view and rocks of fantastic shape here at Sodol Adeulbawi Park. On the north side of the hill in Gangneung, Gangwon Province, you can see rocks and strangely bizarre rocks naturally carved in by the wind and waves in shapes of elephants, etc… The main rock in the place, the Sodol Rock was formed 150 Million years ago
