Gangwon Travel Guide
South Korea's northeast region is Gangwon, a natural treasure trove of some of the country's precious ecological attractions. The province features rustic towns enclosed in the embrace of lofty mountains, life-strewn national parks, and lengthy beaches with cream-colored sand and pristine waters.
Chuncheon, the provincial capital, is home to the dakgalbi or a chicken dish tossed with other ingredients in spicy chili paste. Korean drama enthusiasts may recognize this city as the location of the hit series, Winter Sonata.
A less crowded alternative to the capital is Gangneung. The student town of Wonju is also a good choice, with its youthful vibe and collection of modern amenities. Sinnam, on the other hand, boasts of Haesindong Gong·won's phallic totems.
Those who want to earn the bragging rights of reaching some of South Korea's highest peaks can go to the national parks of Seoraksan and Odaesan. Beach bums also need not to look very far in search for some sand and water to play with as Samcheok has a tranquil seascape while Gyeongpo Beach is full of sun-kissed bodies and water sports.

San Gimignano and San Pellegrino
Night falls on the flourishing and industrious San Gimignano, its 72 towers stand on the low roofs of the houses lit by the moon. This is not a luxury travel spot but is something you don't see every day. In the distance the clatter of hooves echoed tired in the Via Francigena.
