Donghae Chuam Beach and Mukho

🏞️ I traveled to Chuam Beach and Mukho Beach in Donghae City, Gangwon Province. Although I’ve visited Sokcho and Gangneung many times, it had been so long since I last went to Donghae that I couldn’t even remember when, so I decided to visit. 🌳 I headed to Chuam Beach to see the famous Chuam Candlestick Rock. There’s even a Chuam Station nearby, and trains stop there. Next time, I’d like to try a train trip. 🌲 The sea at Chuam was stunning, with a jade-like color that’s hard to describe in words. The unique rock formations standing in various shapes on the sea were truly breathtaking. 🌲 The Candlestick Rock, along with all the other rocks, looked like a painting on the sea, creating a spectacular view. Crossing the suspension bridge, the scenery of the sea and rocks felt like a masterpiece of art. Chuam Beach also boasts a wide sandy shore and beautiful sand. 🌳 Near Mukho Port, there’s the Nonam Mural Village, Dojjaebi Sky Valley, and Haerang Observatory, all in one area, making it a great place to explore and enjoy. The narrow stone paths are lined with walls painted with murals, and there are many charming cafes with blooming flowers. Every spot is picture-perfect. 🌲 At Haerang Observatory, you can enjoy the view of the sea, and at Dojjaebi Sky Valley, you can ride a sky bike or slide down a steep slope. 🌳 Walking along the Lighthouse Path and climbing the steep stairs of Nonam Path offers beautiful scenery and views of the sea. 🌳 The Cheongok Golden Bat Cave is cool inside and filled with stalactites, making it worth a visit. Although I didn’t see any bats, exploring the cave was enjoyable. There’s even a space to hang locks, which couples might find fun. 🌲 My trip to Donghae was filled with sights to see and activities to enjoy, making it a delightful journey.
