Gang won is a year round resort destination! Wildflowers paint the mountains with color and sweet smells in the spring, while summer offers swimming at some of the nations best and most splendid beaches. The quality of the sand rivals that of Phuket. Outdoor sports such as hiking, golf, and tennis are especially well suited to the East Coastal area of the province. But autumn with its spectacular foliage is the most popular season, particularly for Mt. Sorak. The wooded wonderland of Sorak Mountain, which is part of the East Coast Diamond Mountains, is considered one of the worlds most spectacular natural wonders. Cascading streams, which tumble over cataracts and drop from precipices to form fleecy waterfalls, as well as awesome saw-tooth cliffs and monolithic rock formations jutting into the blue skies, give this area an unparalleled beauty and fame.

Opened up and developed relatively recently the whole province has become the place where Koreans especially Seoulites go to escape the maddening crowds of urban life. Although the area can become quite crowded it is entirely possible to find quiet and peace even at the height of the tourist season.
