Yangyang County, a serene area in Gangwon Province, South Korea, offers more than just surfing spots like Jukdo Beach. It is home to stunning natural landscapes beyond the East Sea, including the beautiful Dunjeon Valley. Starting from Seokgyo-ri, a 3.2km trail exhibits the area's natural allure, featuring rugged cliffs and cascading waterfalls. The valley's tranquil environment makes it a hidden treasure away from the bustling beaches and tourist areas. Additional experiences such as fishing (except at Dunjeon Reservoir), trekking to Jinjeon Temple Site (Shilla-era Buddhist temple ruins), and exploring historical relics like the UNESCO-listed pagoda, make Yangyang a comprehensive gift of nature. Recommended travel period is outside the peak summer months for a more peaceful experience.
