2025 Gangwon State Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

You must not have been to Stone Creek Café (스톤크릭) in Wonju, Gangwon Province. This secret cafe hidden in the valley The interior of the store is a high-ceiling wooden building with large glass windows, which looks like a painting no matter where you sit. The most recommended way is to order a cup of hot Americano or matcha latte, with dessert, and quietly enjoy the view. ⛰️Each season has a different look. The summer is full of greenery, and the winter is a fairy tale of ice and snow. If you also want to escape the city and recharge, this is definitely a perfect choice. Price Reference｜Stone Creek Café The price of drinks in the store is about 6,000₩～8,000₩ (about NT$140～190), and desserts such as cakes, croissants, scones, etc. are mostly around 7,000₩～10,000₩. Although the price is a bit high, considering the location, sense of space and unbeatable mountain view, it is quite good overall. I especially recommend their matcha latte and lemon cake, which are very satisfying both visually and taste-wise! 📍Store information Store name | Stone Creek Café 스톤크릭 Address｜ 강원도 원주시 판부면 매봉길 94-23 Business hours｜10:00 – 21:00 (recommended to go on weekdays when there are fewer people) #wonjucafe #wonjuattractions #koreasecretcafe #icefallattractions #stonecreek #koreatravelrecommendations #wonjudaytour #wonjucheck-inattractions #koreawintertravel #secretcafe #koreamountainviewcafe #coffeeandscenery #goodplacesinapril2025

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

The egg tart enjoyed on the outdoor terrace with a great view of Gangneung Gyeongpo Lake at a glance was really,, simply impressive. This is a place that only sells a limited number of items per day for quality control. The interior of the store is narrow and the outdoor terrace table style is a system where only one group can enter and order at a time, so you may have to wait a little! The signature is the super sweet corn tart, which really catches the eye.. I fell in love with the extreme sweetness, but it's not so sweet that it gives me a headache. You really have to try it to know,, JMT.. 🫣 And this time, a new menu item, potato tart, was released, Potato lovers are really crazy.. It feels like mashed potatoes are put inside the tart? It really hit my taste buds, I fell in love with it 🥔🤎🤎 The basic egg tart is made by a pastry chef who personally kneads, ripens, and bakes it, so it has a really pastry-like texture, and it's really soft and chewy, and the size is big, so I'm full after eating just one, and it's full of cream, which is good. They also sell financiers and canelés, and they're all really delicious!!! The signature drink is the overweight latte, which you absolutely must try It's a latte with hazelnuts, and they grind the hazelnuts themselves and put them on top like a topping, so the combination of tart x overweight latte is amazing 🫶🏻 . . 📍Overweight @overweight_bakery 11 Gyeongpo-ro 371beon-gil, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do 🚗Parking available 🕰Fri - Wed 11:00 - 19:00 (Early closing when ingredients run out) 🕰Closed on Thursdays ▪Potato Tart ▪Egg Tart ▪Corn Tart ▪Overweight Latte #CafeRecommendation #HotPlace #GangneungTravel

In particular, Cheonggan Beach was right in front, so we grilled meat, went for a walk on the night sea together, and watched the sunrise alone in the morning ✨ It felt even better because we saw a rainbow on the way back 🌈 When we were young, we often traveled with our family, but as we all grew up, it wasn't easy for the five of us to coordinate our schedules, but this trip was a long time coming, where we saw beautiful scenery, ate delicious food, and had a great time! 🤍 I ordered the cake myself, and it matched the color of the caravan perfectly 💙 I'm so happy that my dad liked it- I'm even happier that everyone liked the accommodation-! Traveling with family is always happy 🏡💚
