Sokcho: Mountains and harbors

Sokcho is a stop worth stopping at at the gateway to Seorak. One day, between Seoraksan and Sinheungsa Temple, experience the unique atmosphere of Sokcho.

Sokcho's first impression almost always comes from Seoraksan Mountain. When it actually appears before your eyes, the imagination in the picture suddenly gains weight, and the journey officially begins from that moment.

When it comes to Sokcho, locals usually mention Sinheungsa Temple first. Only after experiencing it do you realize that landmarks are never isolated scenery, but rather the entrance to an entire section of life.

Aba Village hides another side of Sokcho. With less noise from tourists and more everyday warmth, you suddenly feel like you've briefly become a person here.

If you have the energy, go sea fishing for a while. There's no standard answer there, only your own rhythm, just enough to fill your schedule perfectly.

Sokcho taught me one thing: you don't have to chase after every sight, just as Seoraksan taught me—the best scenery is often where you're willing to stop and look at it carefully.
