Gangwon-do is a mountainous area famous for Seorak-san.
More than 80 percent of its land is covered with mountains.
A source of beauty, the mountains also cut the province of
from the rapid development sweeping the Seoul and Gyeonggi area.
However, Gangwon now benefits as a leisure
and tourism center, making good use of well- preserved
mountains and a pristine coastline.
In addition to the throngs of Seoulites who like to get away from
the stress of the city, the province attracts many
Southeast Asians who want to experience the thrill of
skiing or simply the sight and touch of snow. |
