For those who want to escape crowded famous tourist attractions and seek local travel where they can feel the quiet sea and the breath of local residents, Samcheok in Gangwon Province is emerging as a new option. According to a video from the Culture Portal, although Samcheok is a population-declining area designated by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, it was introduced to visitors as an attractive city that provides leisurely relaxation and friendly food.

A Day in Samcheok Starting with Mul-dakgalbi and a Beach Walk

The journey in Samcheok, arrived at after driving about 4 hours from Daegu, begins with food that contains local characteristics. The participant in the video expressed satisfaction with the taste of the broth and the harmony of the food while tasting Mul-dakgalbi, a representative menu of Samcheok. After the meal, they visited Samcheok Beach to enjoy a walk while feeling the cool sea breeze. Due to the rainy weather, the planned reading at the beach changed to relaxing at a cafe, but it was filled with time to enjoy leisure while admiring the wide-open ocean view.

Affordable Snacks and Warm Generosity at the Central Market

Another charm of Samcheok is the affordable and delicious snacks that can be found at Samcheok Central Market. The participant visiting the market experienced the unique generosity of the market by using cash to purchase various snacks at low prices such as 700 won and 2,000 won. In particular, snacks containing local characteristics engraved with the phrase 'Samcheok Umji-cheok' added fun to the trip. After finishing looking around the market, the day's schedule concluded by choosing sashimi for dinner to enjoy the taste of the Samcheok sea.

The participant said that through this trip, they experienced the relaxed and warm atmosphere of Samcheok. To the extent that the fact that it is a city facing the crisis of population extinction felt regrettable, the human-scented scenery of Samcheok left a deep impression on the visitor. Even if not all schedules proceed as planned, the beauty of Samcheok local travel is being able to slowly savor the charm of the region without being chased by time.
