Hostels in Gangwon State, South Korea

I stayed for two nights, and I managed to have an entire floor to myself for one of the nights! This hostel is a little far from the centre of Gangneung but there is a bus stop nearby and it seems reasonably well connected to other areas. The room is very warm, especially good in the winter. I would recommend bringing some slippers if you don't want to walk on the ground, but it's still clean. The bathroom has slippers provided. The bathrooms are clean with enough space, but I did find grime on the bottle of the shampoo/conditioner/bodywash bottles when I lifted them up. There are charging points inside the capsule, along with the option to heat the blanket/bedding. The hostel is self check in, but I found this confusing because I didn't find this information clearly written on the booking confirmation notice.

It was a very clean and comfortable hostel !! The bed was really comfortable, the bathroom was clean, the water pressure and amenities were all good! Seafi Beach is within walking distance and the population beach is not far from the taxi, so it was quiet and nice to play

家族で経営されてるようで、とても可愛らしくてアットホームなホテルですた。友達5人で利用しました。私は1人部屋なので2階でしたが、友達は2人部屋だったので4階でした。エレベーターがなく階段のみなので、そこだけが残念でした。 だけど荷物は部屋まで運んでくれるし、チェックアウトの時は部屋まで取りに来てくれます。

We had a great time in Gangneung and the living conditions were very clean and tidy. I also learned that the Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival in South Korea usually lasts for seven days. From the first to the second day of May, there will be some performances and temple fairs, such as the Slave Masquerade and the Namdaecheon Temple Fair. The most grand event in the third grade of junior high school is the street game activity of transporting sacred trees from the city to Nandachuan. It is called the Shentong Daji Street Game. It is to welcome the mountain god, the city god of the state and the female city god of the state. This year's event is on June 8 Starting at seven o'clock in the evening, many tourists will come from all over the country to watch. After the sacred tree was delivered, starting from the fourth day of May, the main rituals were held, which were divided into the morning drink offering and the Dragon Boat Festival sacrifice. During the sacrifice, the food on the table, such as the Dragon Boat Festival wine and rice cakes, would be distributed to the tourists. Folks felt that You will learn better if you eat it, haha. Finally, at the end of the seventh day of the fifth ***** month, there will be offerings and burning offerings to the gods. The paper lanterns and paper flowers used for sacrifices in the past few days will be burned, and then prayers for a good harvest will be over.

The homestay run by my aunt alone has received guests from many places, but because it is off-season, there are only one other guest and I. During the two days in Gangneung, I went to Jeongdongjin to watch the sunrise, but it was a pity that I couldn’t see it because of the fog.

The location is a bit remote, but this price point chooses a family apartment that is more cost effective and prefers a small attic. The owner is very kind and welcoming. Unfortunately, the day is a holiday, there is no shop in Chuncheon. There are very few people on the street. Go there to avoid the festival.
