BUS, TRAIN
Took a 10pm train to Gangwon (Donghae Station), got on the tourist bus to reach the Jangho Harbour and spent a night there looking at the stars inside the bus while waiting for the first sunrise of 2025. It's like a tradition here in korea to see the first sunrise of the new year, and usually people would opt for beach or mountain view. Went for a hike last year, so it's turn to see the beach this year ๐โจ The winter winds are strong here, but the scenic coastal cliffs, clear waters, and quiet vibes make it worth every chill. It's the perfect winter getaway to feel the raw beauty of Koreaโs coastline. ๐๏ธโ๏ธ ๐ Jangho Port, Samcheok ๐๊ฐ์๋ ์ผ์ฒ์ ๊ทผ๋๋ฉด ์ฅํธ๋ฆฌ ๐ Tip: Dress warmly, bring a hot pack to stay warm, and donโt forget to book your train ticket early, especially for weekend trips! ๐ โผ๏ธKorail offers a simple one-day tours like this for each festive seasons, you can check on their website and book there.
