Gangneung’s true charms shine bright after the sun sets.
From the romantic Gyeongpoho Lake with five moons and
Wolhwa Street Night Market where excitement begins once the sun sets to Solhyang Arboretum
that sparkles at night and the starlit pastoral Anbandegi to watch stars at night!
Let's visit the nighttime attractions that make Gangneung much more fascinating.

The first thing that pops up in many people's minds when they hear “Gangneung” is Gyeongpo sea.
But Gyeongpoho Lake, which is close to the sea, is also a widely loved spot with tranquil paths for evening strolls.

Gyeongpo Gasiyeon Wetlands, which surrounds the lake and boasts its original beauty still intact, attracts people day and night.

Gyeongpoho Lake is known as the lake with five moons, which are the moon in the sky,
the moon reflected on the lake, the moon reflected on the sea, the moon reflected on your glass, and lastly,
the moon reflected on your loved one's eyes.
How romantic it is to walk alongside your loved one while searching for the five moons together!

Wolhwa Street gains vigor once the sun sets every Friday and Saturday.

Clean and stylish food stalls and stands are installed while delicious smells fill the air.

The night market, which features cheerful music, bright lights and performances, is instantly filled with excitement.

First opened in May last year, Wolhwa Street Night Market opens at 6 PM and keeps the area bright until 11 PM every Friday and Saturday.

If you visit Wolhwa Street, we recommend you to also check out the harmony of splendid lights and
music of the nighttime fountain show at Wolhwagyo Bridge, which is connected to the street.

There is no better place for a stroll or a date on a cool autumn night than Wolhwa Street Night Market where the old and new coexist.

Located at the foot of Chilseongsan Mountain, Gangneung Solhyang Arboretum,
featuring a dense colony of Geumgang pines whose stalks grow straight and red, is widely known as a place of healing.
Once the leaves turn into autumn foliage, the arboretum presents a modest yet beautiful spectacle.

Gangneung Solhyang Arboretum has recently begun to open at night, boasting a different charm compared to the daytime.

A total of 713 bright lightings put on splendid clothes on a mundane forest to create a gorgeous scenery in which the lights become one with nature.
On Fridays, in particular, different colors of lights are used compared to other days to grab visitors’ attention.

The marvelous nightscape colored with lighting creates a romantic vibe.
Trails that warm up the cold air and shiny green lights together seem like an orchestra of fireflies.

From a pool on a dark night, a dragon formed by lights soars up into the sky.
As you walk under the subtle moonlight while soaking in the autumn flavors,
you will instantly fall under a spell to become filled with joy under the bright lights.

Anbandegi Village, located at 1100 m above sea level, got its name from its sunken and
broad topography that resembles Anban, a pounding board for making tteok (rice cake) with a mallet.

Filled with cabbage patches, the village is widely considered as a great spot to watch stars.

Although many believe that it began to be recognized by people thanks to the TV show “I Live Alone,”
those who like taking pictures of stars had already known about this place.
We recommend the ones who do not have much expectation in star watching to visit first as it is impossible to talk about
its mystique before experiencing ecstasy from countless stars lit in the dark night sky.

Anbandegi boasts open, unobstructed views in all directions, which makes it a perfect place to enjoy watching the milky way.
You may not be able to fetch a star for your loved one, but you can show him or her the beautiful, starlit night sky in Anbandegi.
