Gangneung itineraries

Gangneung in a Day by KTX

Two hours from Seoul Station and you're at the sea. Old wooden floors at Ojukheon and Seongyojang, a bowl of Chodang tofu, a loop of Gyeongpo Lake, coffee at Anmok, and a market run before the train home.

Jumunjin Coast to Gyeongpo

Day one drives the northern coast south: fish market, lighthouse, breakwater, a coffee roastery in Sacheon. Day two slows down at Gyeongpo with an art museum, tofu, and Terarosa's home factory.

Jeongdongjin Sunrise & Anbandegi

Start in the old downtown lanes, sleep at Jeongdongjin for the sunrise, walk the Badabuchae trail and Mukho's hillside alleys, then climb to Anbandegi and the sheep farm. The last day winds down north of Gyeongpo.
