The wooden hall of Ojukheon seen head-on from its forecourt, its two plaques reading Ojukheon and Mongnyongsil

Ojukheon House

The house where Shin Saimdang lived and her son Yi I was born — among the oldest surviving Joseon dwellings, with the room called Mongnyongsil held to be his birthplace. The Yulgok Memorial Hall and the Gangneung Currency Exhibition Hall stand in the same grounds, so the woman on the 50,000-won note and the son on the 5,000-won note can be seen together in the house they lived in.

Gangneung Coffee Street

A seafront row of roastery cafes along Anmok Beach, where most shops roast their own beans and seat you facing the water. The street keeps no hours of its own — each cafe sets them — so check the one you are aiming for.
