Details
- Songjiho Beach
- Songjiho Beach, about 14 km north of Sokcho, surrounds Songjiho Lagoon, which was designated a national tourist site in October 1977. The white sand beach is 2 km long and 100 m wide, with clear and shallow water, and nearby are Jukdo Island and Seoraksan Mountain, making it a place to enjoy in many ways. In front of the sea lies Jukdo Island, made of bamboo and bizarre rocks with beautiful scenery, making it a beach blessed by nature.
- Ayajin Beach
- This place, 6km north of Sokcho and about 500m in from National Route 7, has beautiful surrounding scenery, and the number of summer visitors increases every year. Large and small rocks, clear sea, and clean white sand beach combine to make it suitable as a family summer resort. The white sand beach is 600m long and 50m wide, and the water depth is 1.5~2m up to 30m from the beach. Here, you can buy fresh squid cheaply early in the morning, so more people are deliberately visiting this place.
- Manhae Village
- It was established as a place of practice to highly honor and promote the literary spirit, liberal thought, progressive thought, and national thought of Manhae Han Yong-un, a representative poet in the history of Korean literature, a great Zen master of Buddhism, and a national activist who instilled in the hearts of the people an eternally unquenchable national spirit during the dark era of Japanese colonial rule.
- Bangtaesan National Natural Recreation Forest
- The place that could be called Korea's Noah's Ark is Bangtaesan Mountain, just as its name suggests. 芳臺山 became 芳台山, and the Bangdaecheon Stream (芳臺川) still flows through the valley. At the summit of Bangtaesan there was a rock weighing about 2 tons, with a hole drilled by hand with a chisel; it is said that during a great flood in ancient times, a rope was tied here to keep boats from drifting away, so the rock was called Baedaleun Stone (Baedaleun 石, 1415.5 m above sea level). As if to prove that time, it is said that shell fragments are still excavated from the soil or sand in the crevices of rocks at the summit of Bangtaesan, but today that rock can no longer be found.
The vegetation of Bangtaesan is mostly natural broadleaf forest, with some artificial plantations. The valleys of the main peaks, Guryongdeokbong (1,388 m above sea level) and Jueokbong (1,443 m above sea level), are the source and form the main water system of this recreation forest, so water is abundant. In particular, Madang Rock (a flat, wide rock like a yard) and the two-tier waterfall can be called superb scenery. With diverse tree species such as linden, birch, pine, and oak, the natural scenery is beautiful with green foliage, autumn leaves, and snow scenes depending on the season, and various wild animals such as Manchurian trout, catfish, and Korean perch, as well as wild boar, rabbit, pheasant, roe deer, and squirrel, also live here.
