Located in the mid-eastern part of the Korean peninsula and flanked by the sea and the mountains, Gangwon-do is full of natural attractions. Visitors can enjoy a fantastic view of Mt. Seoraksan and Mt. Chiaksan as the scenery alters by season. On the east coast are other tourist attractions such as fine beaches and clean coastlines. There are countless ski resorts in the province due to the heavy snowfall in the winter on the mountains.
