Gyeongpodae Cherry Blossom Festival, Gangwon Province's largest cherry blossom festival
Every year around early April, the Gyeongpodae Cherry Blossom Festival is held in the Gyeongpodae area. This festival is one of Gangneung's representative festivals, attracting a large number of domestic and foreign tourists to enjoy the cherry blossoms. The entire festival centers on Gyeongpodae and unfolds a beautiful 4.3km cherry blossom avenue around Gyeongpo Lake, where blooming cherry blossoms, forsythia, daffodils, and other lovely flowers adorn the area into a magnificent floral world.
Another suggestion is to ride a four-person bicycle under the cherry blossom trees, enjoying the flowers and the lake at the same time.

The former residence of the person whose portrait is on the 5,000 won and 50,000 won banknotes - Ojukheon (오죽헌)
Ojukheon is the former residence of Yulgok Yi I (portrait on the 5,000 won banknote) and his mother Shin Saimdang (portrait on the 50,000 won banknote). Built between 1450 and 1500 in the early Joseon Dynasty, it is named for the dark bamboo that surrounds the house. The dark bamboo, a symbol of Ojukheon, appears alongside the building on the 5,000 won banknote. At Ojukheon, visitors can see the annex where Yulgok was born, his inner chambers, and personal belongings, and learn about the story of Yulgok and his mother, Shin Saimdang. It was also a major filming location for the Korean drama "Saimdang, Memoir of Colors."
