Hi, I’m Tabi!
Wonju in Gangwon State combines Chiaksan’s wooded foothills with the history of a former administrative center. Arrange separate transport to Guryongsa in Socho-myeon and downtown Gangwon Gamyeong and choose one to begin.
This guide covers places within Wonju, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
