A spiritual healing trip to Gangneung, South Korea
Gangneung is a city in Gangwon Province, South Korea, a 2-hour drive from Seoul (KTX).
Although the winter is very cold in Gangneung, which has its back to the mountains and faces the sea, it is almost sunny every day. We live near the sea and can walk a few steps every day to watch the sunrise. The sunrise in the Pacific Ocean is really healing.
In recent years, because of the epidemic, the Korean government vigorously developed local tourism, so the area around Gangneung was slowly discovered into a tourist attraction, such as Anmu seaside coffee street, the whole street is looking at the sea of the coffee shop here, so generally good to drink, and not expensive, a cup may be 36hkd, plus a fine cake, sitting half a day chill.
Personally recommended cafe: Long Black (near Gangmun beach) Three floors of floor-to-ceiling glass facing the sea, more tranquil and cozy than the cafes by the Anmu seaside.
In addition to Gangneung, we also went to a place called Jeongdongjin (Jeongdongjin), the train is twenty minutes to see the sunrise is super beautiful, because the place as its name, directly east, but we arrived a little late that day, do another thing - cycling on his old railway, is a very interesting experience (price is okay, probably 100hkd a person).
The most worth recommending to Jeongdongjin is a museum called Haslla art world, in many places in the museum overlooking a sea, the waves are very spectacular, a few moments still think they are in Australia, so this museum exhibits are mainly Korean contemporary local art, many exhibits are full of playful, quite childlike, in addition, it will have many outdoors with natural environment combined art tickets hkd one person; Transportation: Take a bus near Jeong Tojin Railway Station for about 10 minutes, but the service is sparse, check the time in advance)
Before leaving we found the lake near the accommodation (Mirror Lake) was so beautiful in winter (Figure 13, 14) I regret not staying for more days, otherwise I can cycle around the lake, looking at the mountain in front of me (Daguanling) is really refreshing And the mountain's mountains in winter are particularly distinct, because there is snow on it, the layers are distinct from a distance, and I heard that if you come nearby in March or April you can see a large area of cherry blossoms, it will be another very attractive sight.
Personally, if you like to wander, Jiangling is definitely a good place, see the mountains and water, walk the museum, sit in a café chill so you can stay 3 or 4 days ~
