MBTI Trip for the Extreme I (Introvert) Traveler
MBTI, a form of a personality type test, has been popular among the young gen Zers.
“I,” an introvert type, is known to be a group that maintains inner peace and pace and gains energy through conversations with oneself.
In the context of traveling, they are the type that avoids famous and noisy places but instead, likes a quiet style of traveling.
We introduce the best healing spots in Gangneung for introverted travelers who prefer cozy and tranquil places.
Temple Stay for a time of healing
The days of only praying at a Buddhist temple is over.
131 temples nationwide currently provide temple stays with various programs.
Located at the foot of Manwolsan Mountain, Temple offers programs for participants to be able to get out of stressful everyday
lives and relax comfortably in nature.
Even if you are not a believer in Buddhism, it would be a precious time especially for extreme
I's to look inside their own souls through silence and meditation.
The first day features an evening offering, a Buddhist service, 108 times bowing, and making of Danju that resembles you,
while the second day features a forest walk and a time to converse with monks over a bowl of coffee,
a unique experience only offered at Temple.
From a long time ago, the temple was famous for grinding coffee beans using a millstone and drinking coffee in a bowl.
You drink coffee in Dawan that resembles a huge bowl, which makes you hold it with your two hands.
From this, you will be able to feel how precious and valuable coffee that you are drinking really is.
If you wish to enjoy modest luxury in a secluded mountain temple,
check out the programs and fees first and enjoy a small but nice rest amidst your daily life.
Heonhwa-ro, a fantastic driving route throughout the year
An introvert who does not feel any loneliness even when traveling alone prefers to immerse him or
herself in the place he or she visits for a quiet, peaceful trip alone.
Simple running is great, too.
For such people, a drive on Heonhwa-ro, which boasts the greatest scenic beauty among all driving routes in Gangneung, will just be perfect.
The road, which originally got its name, “Heonhwaga,” after the story of an elderly man passing by who offered flowers to Lady Suro,
exudes a sense of mystique thanks to a combination of this myth and the beautiful landscape.
Heonhwa-ro is a road that runs over both seashores and inland from Geumjin Beach to Jeongdongjinhang Port,
Gangneung, and it is known to be the closest section to the ocean.
This is why you may experience an odd sensation of driving on water.
Once you begin to see the cool ocean, lower the windows and slow down your car.
The sound of waves crashing and the freshness of the wind blowing will heal your soul instantly.
From Geumjin Beach, the rising surfing spot, and Geumjinhang Port to Simgokhang Port,
the grandeur of unique-shaped rocks and splendid colors of the water that changes from bluish-green to light jade multiply the beauty of the road.
Enjoy Gangneung to its fullest by a romantic drive on Heonhwa-ro.
Gangneung Yeongok Solhyanggi Camping Site holding the sea and pine forest
When you think about sea in Korea, what will pop up in your head faster than any other was, is and will always be Gangneung.
As the final stop for introverted travelers, we introduce Gangneung Yeongok Solhyanggi Camping Site
where the sounds of music and waves are all you need.
Located on Yeongok Beach, Gangneung Yeongok Solhyanggi Camping Site is right by the sea and also has a forest of pine trees.
It has recently established a glamping facility, and was also selected as a barrier-free campground for the persons with disabilities,
leading to winning the “Star of Korea Tourism,” a rare commendation for camping sites.
Take a deep breath from the bottom of your heart while inhaling phytoncide spouting out of a
thickly wooded pine forest along the 700 m-long beach.
It will make the night a dream come true.
