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.
