It is especially nice in the spring when there are many cherry blossoms. Other seasons also has its own different viewpoints!

There are several market places in Gangneung. Gangneung Jung Ang Market is located at the center of the city and is the largest one in the area. It is a typical Korean market selling all sorts of foods and other goods. You can enjoy lunch with various kind of food there!
4) Youngjin Beach (Jumunjin)- famous filming location for Korean drama “Goblin” !
Dokkaebi or Goblin (also known as Guardian: The Lonely and Great God) is one of the hit dramas aired in 2016 starring Gong Yoo, Kim Go Eun, Lee Dong Wook, and Yoo In Na. Located at Jumunjin, Youngjin Beach is part of the iconic scene in Goblin. In episode 1 where Eun-tak (Kim Go Eun) first summoned Golbin (Gong Yoo) by blowing out her candles, and suddenly he’s standing there by the sea with her, asking if she’s the one who called him there. This place has always been great for photos: known for its gorgeous beaches and blue waters, Youngjin Beach offers visitors breathtaking views of the ocean. You can also rent the props from the drama and pretend to be Gong yoo and Kim Go Eun!
5) Sodol Adeulbawi Park
Located near Youngjin beach, you will be impressed by the stunning view of ocean view and rocks of fantastic shape here at Sodol Adeulbawi Park. On the north side of the hill in Gangneung, Gangwon Province, you can see rocks and strangely bizarre rocks naturally carved in by the wind and waves in shapes of elephants and other creatures. The main rock in the place, the Sodol Rock was formed 150 Million years ago in the Jurassic era. There is a legend that an old childless couple came to the rock to pray for 100 days and got a child after, therefore this is a popular place for newlywed couples to come to wish for a child.
