The nearly 1,000-year-old ginkgo tree in Wonju, Gangwon Province, transforms into a stunning golden sphere each autumn. Known as a "living fossil," this ancient tree stands out against the red maple forest, creating an unforgettable autumn landscape. Legend has it that the tree sprouted from a monk’s staff, and locals believe a white snake lives within, so visitors are advised not to touch it. Located about 130 km east of Seoul, it’s easily reachable by both private and public transport. 📍Address: Gangwon-do, Wonju-si, Munmak-eup, Bangye-ri, 1496-1 KR #voyagevibes

There are not many Chinese tourists in Gangwon-do. Most of the tourists are staying in Seoul. I also watched the EXO video to know that there are many places to play. Take an adventure to Gangwon Province. It is the northern part of Korea and the coldest place. I checked the weather before I came. When Seoul was a dozen degrees ago, it was at -4° - 4°, and the temperature difference between morning and evening was great. Going to Gangwon-do can take a high-speed rail or rent a car. In fact, renting a car is quite convenient. After landing from Incheon Airport in Seoul, drive directly to Gangwon-do. About three hours later, I took a break in the service area. What surprised me was that the high-speed service station actually ate so much, and the service station was very clean. Resting service area: Lingdong Expressway - Longren Service Area When you need to pick up the card at the same level as in China, there is no Chinese on it, but the operation is the same. Because dinner is BBQ, we went to the supermarket to purchase some ingredients before going to the place to stay. The things inside are quite rich. EMART (Egawa E-Mart) Address: 684 Chungcheongbuk-do, Jeongcheon-dong, Gangdung-dong, 684 evening, it is a place to stay, here is a caravan camp . The owner is a Korean couple, and then they look like Koreans, a strong artist. The male owner does not like to talk very much, always doing things silently. The RV here is designed by themselves. I found his territory in the warehouse next to me.

On our way down to the Seoraksan National Park you can see many beautiful waterfall, trees, birds and others. Mt.Seoraksan is highly recommended to visit.

#koreatrip It is located below Gachilbong, so the air is good and the valley is nice. The campsite has a good deck. It was the largest camping deck in recreational forests across the country. The accommodation is made up of independent buildings, and there is no Wi-Fi or TV, so I went for a walk in the evening and went to bed early. Sambong Mineral Spring is located at the entrance to the hiking trail, so it is good to drink the mineral water.

#getgoing2025 I stayed in a double room and it had everything I needed. It was cleaned well every day. The only thing that marks it down was the air conditioning hadn't been switched on so it got quite hot in the night. I couldn't open the patio doors because of the noise from the traffic outside. Breakfast was great with Korean and western options every morning.
