#Domestic travel Donghae, Gangwon-do, recommended as a domestic travel destination! I recommend visiting Donghae Dojjaebigol and Mukho Port. Mukho is a small village, so it's cute. It definitely has a different feel from Gangneung and Yangyang, which many people visit. The quiet and cute village is so charming. And there's also an observatory in Dojjaebigol where you can see the ocean. It's a glass observatory with a glass floor! There are photo zones everywhere, and as the name Dojjaebigol suggests, there's a goblin photo zone.🙂 #Donghae travel #Gangwon-do #Gangwon-do travel #Places to visit in Gangwon-do
