Gyeongpo Lake

경포호

Gyeongpo, Gangneung · 강릉

A brackish lagoon a few hundred metres behind the beach, circled by a flat cycling and walking path lined with cherry trees and a 1326 pavilion on the north shore.

Why it’s worth it

In early April the loop is a complete tunnel of blossom and it is nothing like as busy as Seoul. Bikes are free to hire from the lakeside stands.
