Gangneung Boksakkot Village blooms with peach blossoms each spring. The village is criss-crossed by Hacheon and Sillicheon Streams, which can be crossed by log bridges built long ago by the residents. These precious log bridges are sometimes removed for protection during the rainy summer season, and then put back out when the stream level lowers.

Boksakkot Village provides a wonderful glimpse into the rural agricultural lifestyle of Korea. Visitors can pick their own fruit directly from the tree to enjoy right away, as well as make a scarecrow or spread green tea fertilizer around the trees to help them grow. The village is also the venue for an annual peach blossom festival in April, and a scarecrow festival in August.

Spanning the highlands at altitudes ranging from 850 to 1,500 meters, Daegwallyeong Samyang Farm is recognized as the most expansive in Asia. The farm welcomes visitors with refreshing, pure breeze and wide-open pastures, a perfect setting for a nature excursion. The Farm is a sanctuary for gentle herbivores like sheep, cows, and ostriches, living freely in this pristine environment. Wander along five distinct trails—each with its own theme, including the Hill of Wind, Leisure in the Forest, Memories of Love, Walk in the Meadow, and Rest of the Mind. Visitors will encounter animal interaction centers, open grazing fields, and wind turbines dotting the landscape, all set against a backdrop free from high rises to ensure an unspoiled atmosphere during their exploration. The farm offers more than beautiful views; it’s a place where one can interact and engage with nature. Seize the chance to feed ostriches and sheep, and if the time is right, visitors can witness the impressive sheepdog performance, where breeds like Border Collies, Malinois, and Kelpies skillfully herd the sheep.
