2025 Yanggu-gun Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in August)

The navel of our country's map! Yanggu Prehistoric Museum, located in the center of Yanggu-gun, is the first prehistoric museum in Korea, built in the dolmen park of Hari, upstream of Paro Lake. ✨️ Outside the museum, there is a dolmen park, and it was a fun and exciting place because it recreated the old appearances quite well, such as pit houses, primitive people, and dolmens. 😉 It's a place that kids will like even more! In particular, the scene where mammoths and primitive people are facing each other was so well-made that I couldn't help but exclaim in amazement! Yanggu is a lesser-known and far-off travel destination, but it's worth a visit at least once because it's free admission💚 - - 📍Yanggu Dolmen Park (Yanggu Prehistoric Museum) 🧭Gangwon Yanggu-gun Geumgangsan-ro 439-52 Yanggu Prehistoric Museum ⏰️09:00 ~ 18:00 (Admission hours: 30 minutes before closing time) #Exciting summer vacation #Yanggu travel

In Yanggu, Gangwon-do, there is Paroho Flower Island, which is famous for its pretty flower fields along with Hanbando Island. Although Yanggu is not a well-known area, there is more to see than you might think, and I especially recommend the flower island in the spring and fall when the flowers bloom. In the fall, the cosmos and buckwheat flowers were in full bloom, so it was so pretty. When I went again this fall, the flower fields were damaged by a typhoon, so only a small chrysanthemum field was planted, which was a shame😭 However, it was being maintained, so I think I will be able to see a pretty flower field worthy of its name, Flower Island, again next spring. It's perfect for a walk and healing🌸 - - 📍Yanggu Paroho Flower Island 🧭570-1 Hari, Yanggu-eup, Yanggu-gun, Gangwon-do ℹ️Hanbando Island and Dolmen Park are close by and there are many fun photo zones, so I recommend them as a Yanggu travel course ✔️1-7 This year's fall/8-12 2 years ago's fall 13-14 Hanbando Island, 15 Dolmen Park🤎 #Flower viewing#Yanggu travel

#summervacay Spent a chill day hiking Bonghwasan in Yanggu, Gangwon-do, and honestly, it was the peaceful escape I didn’t know I needed. The trail’s not super intense, which made it perfect for a no-rush kind of morning. You start off weaving through quiet forests, birds chirping, breeze in your face, super calming. As you get higher up, the views start popping out. There’s a sweet little rest area near the top where I just sat and soaked it all in, rolling hills, layers of mountains, and even a bit of the DMZ far off in the haze. Feels wild to be somewhere that peaceful and realize how close it is to history. Met a few local hikers who were super chatty and shared some makgeolli and dried squid, classic mountain hospitality. The summit itself isn’t crazy tall, but it’s got that wide-open, peaceful vibe. Perfect day trip if you want some nature without wrecking your knees. Bonghwasan, you were a vibe.

Gangwon-do Yanggu Hanbando Island! It was so good!

Yanggu, Gangwon-do, a cozy city that feels like you've been sucked into a page from a fairy tale. A place to visit when you want to stop for a moment and heal. Yanggu, beautiful both during the day and at night.

#JapanAirlineEvent The early morning hike on Bonghwasan Mountain in Yanggu was a refreshing and special experience. As I breathed in the dark early morning air and climbed the quiet forest path, I felt a calm atmosphere. When I reached the top, the sky gradually brightened and the beautiful scenery of Yanggu unfolded. The clouds surrounding the mountain with the sunrise created a fantastic scene, and the morning in the refreshing air felt good. It was a hike that made me feel worth it to move early in the morning.

#DecemberTravelSupportEvent I climbed Mt. Bonghwasan in Yanggu to see the sea of ​​clouds, and it was really scary. I couldn't relax as I climbed higher and higher on the steep mountain path and in the dark clouds. However, as I got closer to the top, the sight of the sea of ​​clouds made me forget all my fears. The view through the clouds was really beautiful, and it was worth the effort for that moment.

#December Travel Support Event Bonghwasan Mountain, a hidden gem in Yanggu, Gangwon-do, is not just a hiking destination. The scenery you will encounter here is by far the best, and the view from the top is literally breathtaking! If you visit during the fall foliage season, the entire mountain will be painted in fiery colors, and you will be able to enjoy a spectacular view that you will not be able to take your eyes off for even a moment. Bonghwasan Mountain is a gentle hiking trail that even beginners can easily challenge, but the spectacular view from the top will make you envious of any difficult mountain. The various sounds and landscapes of nature that you will encounter throughout your hike in the mountain will provide you with a time that goes beyond simple hiking and heals your heart. If you miss out on the leisurely time at Bonghwasan Mountain in Yanggu, you may not be able to experience such special scenery anywhere else. Be sure to experience the true beauty of nature that you can feel here!

#December Travel Support Event I went to see the sea of ​​clouds at Bonghwasan Mountain, but unfortunately I failed. The weather was clear, but it seems that the conditions for the formation of the sea of ​​clouds were lacking. In particular, I realized this time that high humidity and an appropriate temperature difference are important for the sea of ​​clouds. I learned the lesson that I should check the humidity in advance next time. However, the view from the top of Bonghwasan Mountain was still beautiful, and just walking around in the fresh air was healing. Although I didn't see the sea of ​​clouds, it was a satisfying hike that I look forward to next time.

#OutdoorDate#Hwacheon-gunTravel Because you can see the fighter planes and tanks that were actually used, it feels a little more special? It's a place where you can feel the traces of heartbreaking history, but at the same time, a hope for peace that you can't understand! The surrounding scenery is also nice, so it's a good place to enjoy a family outing with children It's a place where you can walk without any burden because it's free admission💜 - - 📍International Peace Art Park 3518 Pyeonghwa-ro, Hwacheon-eup, Hwacheon-gun, Gangwon-do

#SummerTravel #Hwacheon-gunTravel A place where your heart flutters even more because you see the signpost called the Military Demarcation Line🥲 The International Peace Art Park, located below the Peace Dam, is a park that has been reconstructed and decorated with peace art pieces using abandoned weapons, which are symbols of war. A place where you can immediately feel that it is well-decorated in various ways! You can see tanks and fighter planes up close💜 - - 📍International Peace Art Park 3518 Pyeonghwa-ro, Hwacheon-eup, Hwacheon-gun, Gangwon-do

#SpringTravel #YangguTravel There are many pretty and diverse flowers, but the place with the photo zone sign had poppies and rapeseed flowers mixed together, so the colors were really nice. It was really pretty And not only the flower field, but also the S-shaped walking path was pretty, so I highly recommend this spot where you can take pretty pictures just by standing on the road🩷 The river view is nice, and the wide flower field is nice to just look around, but there are also many places to rest, so it was a healing park and travel destination for people who came to a gathering or for a walk💜 - - 📍Paroho Flower Island 570-1 Hari, Yanggu-eup, Yanggu-gun, Gangwon-do

#SpringTravel #YangguTravel I went to Paroho Flower Island because I thought spring flowers would be in full bloom in May! As expected, there were many pretty flowers blooming as the name suggests, and it was a must-visit place for the Yanggu flower outing course. This was my third time, but it was my first time in spring, so there were a lot of poppies and various flowers in full bloom. 🩷 When I came two years ago, the flower fields were badly damaged by heavy rain and typhoon damage, but now they are well-maintained as beautiful spring flower fields, so even though the weather was cloudy, it was great for a walk🌸 - - 📍Paroho Flower Island 570-1 Hari, Yanggu-eup, Yanggu-gun, Gangwon-do

#SpringDate #YangguTravel I knew it was poppy season, but daffodils were still in bloom. And they were purple daffodils. The poppies were pretty, but the special color of the purple flowers made them even more lovely💜 It was even more beautiful with the river in the background Even though the weather was cloudy, there were quite a few people out for a walk Seeing this, I think it's a perfect Yanggu travel course to visit in May There are so many pretty places in every corner, it's great to spend time🩷 - - 📍Paraho Flower Island 570-1 Hari, Yanggu-eup, Yanggu-gun, Gangwon-do

#SpringTravel #YangguTravel The Yanggu drive course from Inje is so good that I always visit there when I go to Inje, but the weather was a bit cloudy, so I was disappointed, but I still have to go to the Korean Peninsula Island, which I recommend as a must-visit course in Yanggu! There were umbrellas prepared in case the sun was hot, but it was a cloudy day, so I just took pictures. There were quite a few tour buses, and it was definitely a place that people who travel to Yanggu must visit. There was a Paroho logo at the entrance that I hadn't seen before, so I definitely take a certification shot here💛 - - 📍Paroho Korean Peninsula Island 76, Hanbando Island-gil, Yanggu-eup, Yanggu-gun, Gangwon-do

#OverseasFlightEvent #DomesticTravelDestinationRecommendation #DomesticTravelDestination #DomesticPlacesToVisit #DomesticTravel #Gangwon-doTravel #Gangwon-do #YangguTravel #Yanggu I went on a trip to Yanggu, the center of Gangwon-do. Yanggu was like a small rural town with clean air, but perhaps because it was the hometown of the late Park Soo-geun, who left a great mark on Korean art, I could see murals along the walls of residents and on the streets, and I could also see cultural activities by the village elders at the open gallery. 🟢Address: 276 Park Soo-geun-ro, Yanggu-eup, Yanggu-gun, Gangwon-do

#CherryBlossom2024 #DomesticTravelDestinationsRecommended #DomesticTravelDestinations #DomesticPlacesToVisit #DomesticTravel #Gangwon-doTravel #Gangwon-do #YangguTravel #Yanggu Since I visited Yanggu, the hometown of the late artist Park Soo-geun from Yanggu-gun, Gangwon-do, I will follow in his footsteps. The Park Soo-geun Museum is operated by Yanggu-gun and is well managed along with the Park Soo-geun Park. In addition to the works of the late Park Soo-geun, there are also current artists and artists who permanently stay in the park, so you can see the works of various Korean artists. 🟢Address: 265-15 Park Soo-geun-ro, Yanggu-eup, Yanggu-gun, Gangwon-do Park Soo-geun Art Museum 🟢Operating Hours: 10:00~18:00 (Regularly closed every Monday, Ticket sales close at 17:00)

#HongKongFlightEvent There is a Korean Peninsula Island on the way back from Yanggu ㅎㅎ It is an island shaped like the Korean Peninsula, and I heard that they hold a cosmos festival there in the fall, so I went there ㅎㅎ There were so many cosmos in bloom and the photo zone was great, so I recommend stopping by if you go to Yanggu!! #Yanggu #KoreanPeninsulaIsland

Visiting Seoul they have the war memorial museum, featuring an extensive amount of history, objects, interactive rooms and statues. The place is grand and beautifully designed. Each statue has its own story, you are first greeted by a statue based on real events about two brothers who were divided between the north and the south and met each other in the battlefield, hence falling into each others arms and crying. You see many stories of those who survived, those who helped during the war and how long it took to bring freedom to the south. It is not always mentioned as a highlight to visit in Korea but it is definitely one of the most impressive museums in the world. And make sure to take your time, this place would need at least between 3 to 5 hours to be fully explored

#SpringTrip This is the last tunnel discovered in Korea. It was dug down from North Korea and shows the scars of the Korean War and the history of various North-South Wars. #4thTunnel #YangguTrip
