Hello!

Welcome to Sooe's Journey Through Life.

If you're planning a trip to Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do,

here are three attractions you absolutely shouldn't miss.

Starting near Ayajin Beach with

Cheongganjeong Pavilion, head north to

visit Cheonhakjeong Pavilion and the Geological Park (Neungpadae).

This makes for a great route.

Peaceful scenery

Cheongganjeong Pavilion

Location: 5110, Donghae-daero, Toseong-myeon, Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do

Parking: Free

One of the Eight Scenic Views of Goseong,

Cheongganjeong is a pavilion located

on the coast in Cheonggan-ri, Toseong-myeon, Goseong-gun.

From atop the unique rock cliffs,

you can overlook the East Sea

where endless waves crash.

Its beautiful scenery has long made it

one of the most renowned

of the Eight Scenic Views of Gwandong.

When we arrived on a weekday,

it wasn't crowded, and there was plenty of

space in the parking lot.

The entrance features an information center

and an octagonal pavilion –

neatly built hanok (traditional Korean house) structures related to tourism.

At the entrance to Cheongganjeong,

you'll find a stone staircase next to a sign

explaining the history of Cheongganjeong.

Soon, you'll encounter

the towering pavilion –

Cheongganjeong.

Looking out at the East Sea from Cheongganjeong,

you'll understand why poets of the past

frequented this place.

I even felt inspired to write a poem! :)

(Believe it or not! haha)

The East Sea seen from Cheongganjeong

The jade-green waves of the East Sea

blended so perfectly, it was like a painting.

Capturing it in photos

to soothe my regret,

we head to another one of the Eight Scenic Views of Goseong:

Cheonhakjeong Pavilion.

Happy moment

Cheonhakjeong Pavilion

Location: 10, Cheonhakjeong-gil, Toseong-myeon, Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do

Parking: No specific parking facilities.

Another of Goseong's Eight Scenic Views,

Cheonhakjeong is located in

Gyori, Toseong-myeon, Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do.

It sits atop a coastal cliff

north of Songjiho Beach.

Cheonhakjeong is a lesser-known sunrise spot,

where the sunrise over the rugged cliffs surrounded by pine trees

is said to be breathtaking. Unfortunately,

it rained the day we went.

Cheonhakjeong Name Origin

Built atop bizarre rocks and steep

coastal cliffs, it's a place of

great natural beauty.

Facing Cheongganjeong and Baekdo Island to the south,

with Neungpadae nearby to the north,

it's a place that adds to the beauty.

The pavilion is called Cheonhakjeong because it's said that

the pavilion is reflected in the mirror of the sky and earth.

The East Sea and beach spreading out below

the pavilion are incredibly beautiful.

Just a short walk up from the roadside entrance,

you'll see a small pavilion –

that's Cheonhakjeong.

Finding the shapes of the rock formations

in the rocks in front of Cheonhakjeong

can be a fun experience.

Although we couldn't see the sunrise due to the rain,

we enjoyed the magnificent scenery

of the East Sea and the beach from Cheonhakjeong.

And now another destination, Go to the Geological Park~~

Nice picture

National Geopark (Neungpadae)

Location: 65, Kwaejin-gil, Jukwang-myeon, Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do

Parking: Free

The Gangwon-do National Geopark

spans across the entire Goseong-gun area.

Among the various geological attractions, including

the coastal cliffs around Cheongganjeong and Cheonhakjeong, Hwaamsa Temple, and Geonbongsa Temple,

the place I'll introduce this time

is Neungpadae, well-known as a BTS album filming location.

Although there was space in the parking lot along the road in front of Neungpadae,

a large number of tourists were visiting

even on a rainy day.

A natural rock formation located on the coast

in Cheonggan-ri, Toseong-myeon, Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do.

Walking up the deck path along

the stairs installed toward the rocky hill

that meets the waves of the East Sea,

The sound of the waves and the rocks

creates a refreshing experience for our hearts.

Origin of Neungpadae

The word "Neungpa" (凌波)

means "to move through the waves."

It reflects the geographical characteristic

of being able to closely observe

the strong currents of the East Sea.

The name Neungpadae became known

from a poem left by Yi Gok (李穀), a writer

of the Goryeo Dynasty, who toured this place.

Let's wrap up this enjoyable trip

by capturing some photos among the magnificent rocks

of the Goseong-gun Geopark in Gangwon-do!

Today, I introduced Cheongganjeong, Cheonhakjeong,

and the Neungpadae National Geopark

as places to visit

for those planning a trip to Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do!

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
