° Places to visit in Gangneung-si (강릉 가볼만한 곳)
╰ Gangneung Coffee Street (강릉커피거리)
Gangneung-si in Gangwon-do is the first local district in Korea to host a coffee festival and support coffee artisans as well has promoted development of coffee-related contents such as the coffee museum, coffee street, coffee factory, barista academy, etc. With almost all coffee shops in the area roasting their own coffee beans, Gangneung-si is well-recognized as the "city of coffee."

╰ Jeongdongjin Sunrise Park (정동진 해돋이 공원)
Located in Gangneung, Gangwon-do, Jeongdongjin is a picturesque area with a quaint, little railway station standing alongside the sandy beach.
The combination of the area’s railroad station, beach, and groves of pine trees makes Jeongdongjin a very peaceful and romantic mini getaway. The highlight of the Jeongdongjin tour, however, is the sunrise. The early morning sun reaching out over the ocean and outlining the dewy silhouettes of the station and surrounding pines is a sight that is straight out of a fairy tale.
