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

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

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.

#koreatrip Build a picturesque house on that green meadow and make a real version!! In the midst of intense city life, everyone at least once dreamed of running a small cafe in the countryside and living a leisurely life, but this is the reality of this imagination. It is not on a green meadow, but it is a “rustic life” that is quietly operated in the nature of Hongcheon. As the name of the cafe suggests, you can feel the vibe of rural life in the whole cafe. A year ago, there was only one building, but as the cafe became famous, it was reborn as a better cafe by creating two or three private spaces. You can use the cafe only if you make a reservation with a 100% reservation system. It can be a bit absurd that the cafe has reservations, but when you visit this place, you will immediately understand. If you make a reservation in advance, you can use a private space with your acquaintances, and the spaces are surrounded by trees. If 4-5 people visit together, you can enjoy the luxury of enjoying coffee and refreshments with your friends in a private space in nature. The system that accepts coffee and refreshments in a basket at the counter and moves to a private space is very different because it is the first time I have seen it in a cafe. If you want to have a leisurely cup of coffee with your acquaintances in a private space in the countryside, don't forget to stop by when you visit Hongcheon. I think this is probably the most emotionally successful place among these country cafes with Wolbakgo in Ewha. * Address: 70 Soksae-gil, Yeongguimi-myeon, Hongcheon-gun, Gangwon-do * Open Hours: Everyday 10:00 - 22:00 * Ordered menu : Coffee 10000
