Goesan County: Places to Visit
For long-distance travelers, a stop at the Goesan Rest Area is essential. Don't miss out on a bowl of spicy gochujang stew on your way to Yangpyeong.
Taking a break at a highway rest area is necessary during long trips. With the warm weather these days, be cautious of drowsy driving.
Let me introduce you to the Goesan Rest Area, a must-visit spot for long-distance travelers.
At the Goesan Rest Area heading towards Yangpyeong, you'll find the Goesan Local Food Happiness Market, featuring local specialties like Goesan Jangyeon apples, 100% domestic snail meat, and Jangyeon sweet corn.
There are designated parking spaces for people with disabilities. Unlike typical highway rest areas where they are just marked, Goesan Rest Area has partitions to protect from rain or snow.
No visit to a highway rest area is complete without checking out the snack corner. They offer delicious red bean bread and coffee.
The Goesan Rest Area also has a spot selling freshly made chicken gangjeong and chicken skewers, providing a variety of snacks.
The rest area includes clothing stores, food shops, open markets, nursing rooms, convenience stores, employee cafeterias, cafes, and small parks. A first aid kit is available for free at the convenience store.
You can also find dried fish snacks, perfect for munching while driving. Additionally, you can order Goesan Rest Area menus through the 'Ddaenggyeoyo' app by scanning the QR code for discounts.
Operating hours for the restaurants are as follows: Korean meal set from 07:00 to 20:50, Namsan pork cutlet from 08:30 to 19:30, udon and ramen from 07:50 to 19:50, and Ijeongdong mukbap from 08:30 to 19:30.
During night hours, the convenience store offers instant noodles, cup rice, and cup noodles, with self-cooking stations available.
On Children's Day, May 5th, there will be a gift extravaganza from 12 PM until supplies last, featuring toys, notebooks, candies, and snacks. If you're out for a trip on Children's Day and see the Goesan Rest Area, be sure to stop by!
Safety medicines are available for purchase at the convenience store. Customer service events include free coupons for families with multiple children upon showing a related card and ID at the convenience store.
The Goesan Rest Area food court has a lively atmosphere, bustling with diners. I managed to take some photos of the less crowded areas.
I ordered the Goesan-style spicy gochujang stew, which comes with three side dishes. Made from delicious Goesan peppers, this stew is certainly a treat. The potatoes are well-cooked, and the meat is tender; I enjoyed every last bite.
After the meal, I took a moment to digest in the small park, as driving immediately after eating can lead to drowsiness. The Goesan Rest Area is a must-visit for long-distance travelers, offering various benefits and events. Enjoy a bowl of gochujang stew before you continue your journey.
