Welcome to Gangchon Resort
Located in the charming city of Chuncheon, Gangchon Resort is a picturesque destination that offers breathtaking scenic views along the Bukhangang River and the Gangchoncheon Stream. With its proximity to popular attractions like Gugok Falls, Deungseon Falls, and Samaksan Mountain, this resort is the perfect choice for nature lovers and adventure seekers.
A Journey Back in Time
Gangchon Resort has a rich history dating back to the 1970s, when it became a favorite destination for young people’s membership trips. Over the years, it has evolved into a modern resort with excellent accessibility via public transportation, a wide range of theme park facilities, and comfortable accommodation options.
A Revitalized Gem
In recent years, Gangchon has undergone a revitalization campaign to restore its former glory. The relocation of the Gangchon Station building in 2010, following the opening of the double-track railway on the Gyeongchun Line, led to a decrease in visitors and a slump in local businesses. However, efforts have been made to breathe new life into this beloved resort.
As you explore the area, you’ll come across the striking sculpture “Ddo-ori Gangchon,” a popular photo spot that symbolizes the Scaly-side Merganser, a species of bird that migrates to Gangchon during the winter. Additionally, the replica of the Deungseongyo Bridge, which was a famous tourist attraction in the past, offers visitors a chance to experience the charm of Korea’s first suspension bridge.
Endless Fun and Adventure
One of the highlights of Gangchon Resort is Gangchon Land, a renowned theme park that promises endless fun for all ages. From thrilling rides to entertaining shows, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. For those seeking an adrenaline rush, embarking on a four-wheel motorcycle ride along the riverside is a must-try activity that will leave you with lasting memories.
