Gangwon moves forth with style and activities for all season.
See
Cherry blossom was so yesterday. These days, you will score points if you can catch the colours of canola flowers in April. The best place to view them is in Samcheok, where the festival includes local produce market, fresh strawberry picking and exhibitions on canola flowers and bees.
Do
Get active all year round in Gangwon. See and play in the snow at this year’s Snow Festa, get active with whitewater rafting in Inje or zipline in Jeongseon to marvel at the gorgeous scenery.
Shop
Can’t get enough of Korean noodles? It never gets any fresher than making your own to take home at the Makguksu Experience Museum. Apart from this, other Korean souvenirs to take home include ginseng and Koean tea.
