PyeongChang

PyeongChang boasts stunning natural attractions, including Odaesan National Park, where trails weave through the serene Taebaek Mountains. The park is home to several historic Buddhist temples, such as Woljeongsa Temple, famous for its nine-story octagonal pagoda. Beyond its mountainous charm, PyeongChang offers unique experiences like Herbnara Farm, featuring seven themed gardens along the Heungjeong Valley, and the Lee Hyo-seok Culture Village, dedicated to the life and works of the early 20th-century poet. The county's lush landscapes and vast ranches make it a haven for those seeking a connection with nature.

As the birthplace of Korean skiing, PyeongChang has been at the heart of winter sports since the establishment of one of the country’s first ski fields in 1949. National ski competitions have been hosted here since the 1950s, cementing its reputation as the cradle of winter sports in Korea. Following the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympic Games and Gangwon 2024 Winter Youth Olympics Games, the region has evolved into a premier destination for winter sports enthusiasts, thanks to its excellent infrastructure, accessibility, and world-class resorts and hotels.
