Korea, Off the Beaten Path

Talk Series No. 7 Yeongwol 🪂

Yeongwol is a city located in the southern part of Gangwon-do and is a gorgeous place with a beautiful natural scenery. The Donggang River flows through the district, and is a tributary of the Namhan River. The River spans an area of 60 kilometers, and it is a well preserved river, left untouched due to the strong current of the waters and the rugged geography of the mountains. Taking advantages of the geographical feature, Yeongwol is famous for outdoor activities such as water rafting and paragliding.

On August 26th, Ms. Cho of MOVE travel magazine will reveal all the hidden gems of Yeongwol-gun that will make your upcoming trip more interesting.

Please click the pictures to read further details !

The Seorae Global Village Center is part of a network of information and welcome centers for foreigners located in neighborhoods across Seoul where many foreign residents tend to reside. The opening of these centers was an initiative of the city of Seoul in 2008 with the mission to provide practical information about living in Korea so that foreign residents find the day-to-day management easy. Our primary role is to answer questions that pertain to daily life and to help manage situations where the language barrier becomes an issue.

You will find at the center Korean language programs as well as other cultural and artistic lessons to learn and appreciate the multiple facts of the Korean culture. We hope that this will help you create new encounters and discoveries.
