2024 Jeongseon-gun Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

Railbike is the highlight of the trip

This is no doubt the highlight of my Nami island trip! We bought the pacakge from Klook and it’s included railbike, it was so fun!! And also, a very good exercise to burn your calories 😬 You are given options to choose to share a rail bike ( up to 4 pax) or book a private bike with extra charges to enjoy it with your love ones. I paid extra for the private bike with no regrets. There are 4 tunnels with different theme in total, all 4 tunnels are so fun and windy inside. The scenery here are breathtaking!! Blue blue sky and mountains. At the end of the rail bike, we will be sent back to the main station by a “romantic train” which I also enjoy as well! It was a good break after all the cycling 😂

Preserving the mountain while making the slopes, in spring various wild edible greens are seen and in summer many wild flowers bloom, making the resort an eco-travel attraction all year round.

Byeongbangchi Sky Walk

#createwithtrip Beautiful landscapes 👍🌊

Mindungsan, a famous spot in Jeongseon

Even for those who usually don't go hiking, it was a nice and easy hike. It takes about an hour. There is no entrance fee. There is parking available nearby, but if you arrive late, it might be difficult to find a spot. I saw some people camping at the top, and it seems to be quite popular on Instagram, as there were a lot of people. I recommend visiting if you're in the area.

If there is a paradise on earth in Korea, it is right here at 'Jeongseon Mindungsan'

Before autumn arrives, the scenery of Mindungsan showcases the pure green beauty of nature, offering a different charm compared to the autumn landscape. It takes about 30 minutes of uphill walking from the parking lot to reach the top. Since there is no shade, it is recommended to bring an umbrella or a hat. ✅ 🏃 Takes 30 minutes 🚘 Use Balgudeok Parking Lot (shortest route) 🏠 275 Eulsaekkotgil, Jeongseon-gun, Gangwon-do

Jeongseon Park Roche Summer Travel Event

Park Roche often hosts various events. In June, there was also an experience of making art pieces with artists. Theme: A Rest for a Greater Desire - More and More Aspiring Comma Program Description: An art class where you can make your own collage frame with MAMACOMMA (artist Seohyeon) Since various paid programs are held every time, if you plan to stay at Jeongseon Park Roche for 1 night and 2 days, be sure to check in advance!

Gariwangsan Cable Car

📍Location: 41-35 Jungbong-gil, Bukpyeong-myeon, Jeongseon County, Gangwon Province, Jeongseon Alpine Stadium ⏰Business Hours: 10:00 - 16:00, Closed on Tuesdays The autumn foliage seen from Gariwangsan is truly magnificent. I recommend visiting during the foliage season. Unfortunately, I visited after the peak of the foliage had passed. Still, the distant places were beautifully dotted with colorful leaves.

The Ararichon folk village

#koreatrip A small folk village that recreates the old residential culture of the Jeongseon region. In addition to the thatched or tile-roofed houses that we are familiar with, there are also unfamiliar houses that we have encountered for the first time, such as Jeoreupjip, Neowajip, Gulpijip, Stonejib, and Gwiteulfip. They are said to be traditional folk houses unique to the Jeongseon region, and the 'stone houses', which are roofed with thin, wide flat stones, are particularly fascinating. You can also see a farming tool workshop, Seonangdang, a watermill, a mill, and a mill, so there is more to see than you might think. Each house has a detailed explanation so it is easy to understand. It takes about 30 minutes to look around slowly. Admission is free, and the parking lot is spacious. If you go out to the back, you can also see the Arirang Museum.

autumn sky in Gangwon-do

#dreamdestination The autumn sky in Gangwon-do is truly beautiful! Gangwon-do is famous for living in harmony with nature. The air is very nice and it's great to go out with family.

“Auraji” in Jeongseon

#dreamdestination This is the restaurant of “Auraji” in Jeongseon, Gangwon-do! You can see so many different types of Korean food. Grilled deodeok, cabbage kimchi, and white kimchi are really delicious. It's a great place for sightseeing!

Jeongseon, Gangwon-do

#dreamdestination This is what Jeongseon, Gangwon-do looks like! It has really beautiful nature. Even in winter, it offers beautiful scenery! It’s a really nice place to take a walk!

First ever ski experience

#skiadventure Nothing beats a first time ski experience (and its all-expense paid) aa part of my university's cross culture program. High1 Ski Resort with its highest attitude at 1,345m is known for its beautifully clean, natural and puffy snow. High1 Resort is one of the most popular and famous ski resorts in Korea. ​ When snow melts slowly from the slope, colourful wildflowers bloom subsequently from May to August. Visitors can also enjoy the wildflowers on the gondola ride to the mountain top. #tripblazers

The village of Allari is a traditional house in the Shanshan County of Gangwon-do. It is believed that many people will feel strange when they mention the place of "goodness." Shanshan is a county located in the southeast of Gangwon Province. It borders Gangneung City in the north, Pyeongchang County in the northwest, Ningyue County in the south, and Donghai City, Sancha City and Taibai City in the east. It is located between the Taibai Mountains and surrounded by mountains. Among them, there are many steep peaks, so there is a saying that the wind is too good and will stay here. The mountain is surrounded by water and has beautiful natural scenery. Since ancient times, many people lived in this place. Therefore, there is a long history and rich and colorful folk culture... There are old city temples, schools and various farm tools, which reproduce the old houses. The culture and the traditional houses of the two classes are very Korean.

Several of our friends flew from China to South Korea, and they drove from Seoul to Gangsan-gun, Gangwon-do. For this warm bed and breakfast in the snow~ share it with everyone today. Because it is far from the hustle and bustle of the big city, this home is very popular with the people of Seoul. It is a white world of snow and a green in summer. There is a small stove in the house, which is heated by wood. The landlord Agassi will make the firewood good. Every time I go out to play, the fire is burning all over the house. The whole room is full of warmth. Sitting on the sofa and watching the variety show. Its really a pleasure to have a Korean tabletop game and hungry to have a ramen. The favorite is the second floor of the B&B. There is a small space filled with books and my own thoughts. I have always liked such a small space. In the morning, I opened the curtains and I could see the snow flakes outside the window. Its quite nice to have a fake here~ B&B is located in Awulaji, Jeongsan-gun, Gangwon-do. Everyone can stay and when to go to Gangwon-do, by the way, experience a leisure time different from Seoul City. Wear recommended: ethnic style shawl scarf with a fireplace feels more
