Hotels in Gangwon-do, South Korea

Gangwon-do is a province in northeastern South Korea, famous for its dramatic mountains-like Seoraksan-and affordable ski resorts such as Yongpyong. Summers are warm and humid (around 25°C / 77°F), perfect for hiking to the bronze Buddha statue at Sinheungsa Temple, while winters bring heavy snow (below -5°C / 23°F) and great skiing on the slopes of Alpensia. For a cheaper trip, visit in spring or fall when you can bike along the East Sea coast at Gyeongpo Beach without the crowds.
