Let's Go Stargazing in Gangneung

Starting from Anmokhaebyeon Beach, this course is a "stargazing tour." Rather than a typical itinerary starting in the morning, it begins in the early evening at Gyeongpodae and leads to Anbandegi Village at dawn, when stars are most visible, to take in the starry night sky. While sightseeing under clear daytime skies is wonderful, taking time in the cozy evening atmosphere to gaze slowly up at the sky offers a uniquely special journey.

   Anbandegi Village

   안반데기

   Anbandegi Village is naturally the first place that comes to mind when thinking of stargazing. While it is now famous for stargazing, it is actually the largest highland vegetable farming area in Korea. The vast, high-altitude cabbage fields were cultivated purely by the labor of farmers without machinery, creating a landscape that looks like a work of art. Gaze at the stars from Anbandegi's Honorary Observatory, a quintessential Korean stargazing destination. Safe driving is essential as it is nighttime. If the weather is clear, you can even see the Milky Way.MoreLess
