Heading to Chuncheon for Famous Dakgalbi!

While stunning scenery pleases the eyes, delicious food delights the palate. Few would disagree that dakgalbi (spicy stir-fried chicken) is Chuncheon's signature dish. The spicy flavor and tender texture of chicken sizzling on a thick iron griddle make the journey well worth it. After filling up on dakgalbi, head to a café atop Gubongsan Mountain to enjoy aromatic coffee and take in the best panoramic view of Chuncheon.
