Seoul is connected to this scenic east coast by the Yongdong Expressway, which ends at Kangnung. The trip takes about four hours.

There are several hotels along the coast and the combination of mountains and beaches makes the eastern area an ideal vacation spot.

Historical sites and colorful everyday scenes are to be seen in the small coastal towns as well as deep within the forested mountains of the region. The mountains also have recreational opportunities at their ski resorts.
