Gyeongsangbuk-do(Gunwi-gun)

Palgongsan Mountain (1,192m in elevation), in the outlying reaches of the Taebaek Range, stands sentinel over the spot where the Nakdonggang and Geumhogang Rivers converge. In the past, Palgongsan Mountain was regarded as a sacred mountain because it resembles the shape of the Three Buddhas. This mountain has magnificent granite formations at higher elevations, and the beautiful valleys, seamlessly interwoven with rock formations and thick forests, make for a spectacular view. Palgongsan Mountain borders Gyeongsan, Yeongcheon, Gunwi-gun and Chilgok-gun in the north and surrounds Daegu metropolitan city in the south. With Birobong Peak in the middle, it extends to Dongbong Peak – Gwanbong Peak (Gatbawi Stone Buddha) in the east and Seobong Peak – Gasan Fortress in the west (20km long). It also offers many beautiful trails. At Gunwi-gun (Palgongsan Provincial Park), you can find a Grotto of the Three Buddhas and Ingaksa Temple. This park reflects the glory of Korean Buddhist culture, containing numerous statues of the Medicine Buddha.

Alpaca World: A Forest Adventure in Hongcheon, Gangwon Province Alpaca World is nestled in the lush, green forests of Hongcheon, in Gangwon Province. This unique destination offers visitors an up-close experience with animals living in natural settings, with alpacas taking center stage. The park features an “Andes Eco Ranch,” which recreates the mountainous terrain of South America’s Andes and is home to about 50 adorable alpacas. A highlight of Alpaca World is the “Relaxing Stroll with Alpacas” program, where you can walk through the verdant forest alongside these gentle creatures. There’s also the Alpaca Playground, a spacious lawn area where visitors can feed and interact with alpacas in a fun, open setting. Another must-visit spot is the Birds’ Garden, which feels like stepping into a fairy tale the moment you walk through its doors. Beyond alpacas, the park is home to a variety of other animals—deer, rabbits, goats, ostriches, camels, owls, and eagles—making it an ideal place for animal lovers of all ages. With so many engaging activities and friendly creatures, you’re sure to leave Alpaca World with plenty of wonderful memories (and photos!). Alpaca World also holds a special place for K-pop fans: it was featured on NCT LIFE in Chuncheon & Hongcheon, where the members visited to relax, competed in fun missions for cart ride tickets, and shared a hilarious moment with a spitting alpaca. Despite the unexpected surprise, they enjoyed their time capturing group photos, making Alpaca World a must-visit spot for anyone looking to follow in NCT’s footsteps—or simply seeking a unique adventure in Gangwon Province.   ​AlpacaWorld Ticket – Korea’s Popular Multi-Animal Park & Performance ◀◁◀◁
