Gangwon-do(Jeongseon-gun)

Auraji is the name of a lake located in Yeoryang-myeon in Jeongseon-gun. It is here that Jeongseon Arirang, the No. 1 Intangible Cultural Asset of Gangwon-do, originated. The area has long been famous for its beautiful, clean mountains and rivers. Its name is derived from the Korean word ‘eoureojida,’ meaning ‘to meet’ as the waters of Pyeongchang and Samcheok unite in this area. Part of the upper stream of Namhangang River, Auraji was a famous starting point of log rafts transporting timber to Hanyang, the original name of Seoul. In the old days, one could always hear the singing of boatmen who came from all over the nation. The lyrics of Jeongseon Arirang reveal the sadness and longing of a woman awaiting her husband who left for business to a far-away place or left to transport timber. Today, numerous tourists visit Auraji to enjoy its great scenic views or to see the symbol of a maid who, gazing into the river, seems to be waiting for her lover to return.

How does the Transit Hotel differ from a standard hotel? A. The Transit Hotel is located inside the airport (Airside). It is the only hotel in Korea that operates on a "6-hour block" rate system, specifically designed for short-term rest during travel. Q. Can I stay at the hotel if I am transferring from an International to a Domestic flight? A. Yes, it is possible. However, procedures may vary, so you must confirm with your airline regarding luggage and transit regulations beforehand. Q. Can I leave the hotel and go outside (exit immigration) during my stay? A. Technically, yes, if you possess a boarding pass for the day of departure. However, you would need to clear immigration to exit and go through security again to return. We strongly recommend against passing through immigration (entering the Landside area) while staying at the hotel to avoid complications and delays. Q. Can I stay at the Transit Hotel before my departure date? A. No. Airline check-in is generally valid only on the day of departure, meaning you cannot access the duty-free area (where the hotel is located) days in advance. You can only stay after you have completed departure procedures and entered the Airside area. Q. Can I retrieve my checked luggage while transferring at Incheon International Airport? A. No. You cannot access checked baggage within the transit area. Your luggage should be checked through from your origin to your final destination.

As one of the best scenic mountains in Korea, Jeoksangsan Mountain (1,034m) showcases imposing, steep rock walls. Red maple trees around cliffs make the mountain look like a giant red skirt in the fall. That’s why it is called Jeoksangsan (Red Skirt Mountain). The mountain boasts a variety of attractions from Hyangrobong (Hyangro Peak/1,029m), Cheonil Falls, Songdae Falls, Jangdobawi (Jangdo Rock), Janggunbawi (Janggun Rock), and Anryeomdae. The rugged shape of the mountain was considered ideal for building a fortress. And after Jeoksangsan became a designated site for storing Joseonwangjo Sillok (annals of the Joseon Dynasty), the fortress surrounding it was further rebuilt. The mountain is also home to Anguksa Temple, an ancient temple built in 1227 (during the 3rd year of King Chungryeol’s reign) by Monk Wolin. The mountain can easily be climbed by hiking or by vehicle; there is a paved road stretching over 15km that leads to the top of the mountain thanks to the construction of Muju Power Plant, letting tourists visit Sanjeong Lake and Anguksa Temple conveniently.
