Daegi-ri Mountain Village

Daegi-ri was part of the former Jujeong-myeon area of Gangneung-gun and, because it had a large site, was once called Hanteo, Keunteo, or Daegi. It is the highest mountain village in Gangwon-do and is famous for cultivating highland vegetables and seed potatoes; the Green Highland Mountain Village Experience Center plays a central role in the village.
At Beolmangneung, centered on Daegi-ri, there was Daegi Elementary School, but when it was closed due to a decline in students, the villagers carefully renovated it and transformed this place into an experience site and recreation facility for provincial and city residents linking agriculture and tourism. True to a village situated on the western foot of Daehwasilsan, where tigers once lived, it maintains cool temperatures even in summer, making it perfect as a summer retreat. Spring tree planting and wildflower exploration are also standout programs.
