GANGWON-DO

Gangwon-do Province, where more than 80% of the area is made up of mountains, is a much favored vacationing destination among locals. The clean beaches along the East Sea are popular summer resort areas, and although steep and challenging, the Seoraksan and Odaesan mountains offer a great hike with beautiful views. And as the home of Pyeongchang, the host city of the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympic Games, there are many world-class ski resorts scattered throughout the province. To explore the great outdoors of Korea, Gangwon-do is the place to go to.
