Donghae, Chun-gok-dong - Hwajungwon Sauna

All the ships were canceled on Monday which caused a slight backup in the number of people leaving on Tuesday, and on top of all this Wednesday, being the last day of the holiday, was booked full. I chose to depart the island to a different city than where I arrived from (in lieu of staying an extra 2-3 days) and that's how I wound up in Donghae... thankfully!

The focus here is on Guryongsa, the temple inside the park. Literally 'Nine Dragon Temple', Guryongsa has a wonderful legend behind its name - and the temple's creation. Buddhist Master Ui Sang left the Wonju area and headed for the Chiaksan mountain

Destination: Gossi cave (Gangwon-do)

Sat, 11/13/2010 - 17:11 — chrisinsouthkorea
Just a few of the beautiful fall colors along the way.My friend Rob from fellow K-blog Roboseyo was kind enough to include me on his recent Gangwon-do trip. After our excursion to Jangneung and nearby Bodeoksa, we found our way to Gossi cave (고씨 동굴, or Go-sshi dong-gul) not too far away.The name comes from Go, the name of one Korean family that stayed here when the Japanese invaded in 1592, and '
