Hajodae Scenic Point (하조대)

Hagwangjeong-ri, Hyeonbuk-myeon, Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do

The rocky coastline along Hyeonbuk-myeon in Yangyang called Hajodae is one of the Eight Sights of Yangyang. The coastline boasts unique rock formations and rocky islets, creating a unique scenery along with the nearby pine forest. The name Hajodae originated from the surnames of Ha Ryun and Jo Jun, two late Goryeo-era officials who plotted to overthrow the dynasty and would eventually become one of the founding officials of Joseon. A pavilion, also named Hajodae Pavilion, can be found on top of the coastal cliff. Today’s pavilion is a restoration dating back to 1998, while the original was raised during the reign of King Jeongjong of the Joseon dynasty and underwent numerous renovations. The pavilion is a favorite scenic point for many visitors. An old pine tree standing upright on the rocky cliff was made famous for its appearance on the broadcasted screen for the national anthem of Korea. Following the decked walkways from the pavilion brings one to the white unmanned lighthouse, or the nearby Hajodae Trail and Observatory. Hajodae Beach can be found about 1 kilometer to the northwest of the area. Its relatively shallow depth, reaching no more than 1.5 meters, makes it ideal for families with small children.

Baekchon Makguksu (백촌막국수)

18.5Km    2024-12-10

Baekchon Makguksu is a one of the most well-known restaurant in Goseong for serving delicious makguksu (buckwheat noodles), a dish that defines Gangwon-do. Buckwheat noodles in Baekchon Makguksu are served with a dried pollack salad, which, for many regulars, is the thing that makes them come back for more. Baekchon Makguksu’s take on this dish combines the flavors of dongchimi (radish water kichmi) broth with Hamheung-style cold buckwheat noodles. Ingredients consist of dongchimi and buckwheat noodles, topped with dried pollack salad, sesame oil, vinegar, sugar, mustard, and seasoning to taste. The noodles themselves retain the fragrance and the texture of buckwheat quite well. Visitors who prefer their bowl to have a more subtle yet refreshing taste can control the amount of vinegar and seasoning to bring the soup’s flavors forward. Another popular dish here is suyuk (boiled pork slices). After enjoying a meal of makguksu, visitors are recommended to take a leisurely seaside stroll at the nearby Munamhaebyeon Beach.
