Gangwon-do Sokcho Travel:孝道 Travel Courses for Parents and October Holiday Drive Spots

Gangwon-do Sokcho is a beloved destination for filial piety trips with parents and scenic autumn drives during holidays. Especially during the October golden holidays, it is gaining attention as an ideal travel spot for day trips or 1-night, 2-day itineraries, offering the charm of enjoying both Seoraksan's autumn foliage and the East Sea's magnificent scenery.

Sokcho Waterpia, with its hot spring spa facilities, is suitable for parents to relax and relieve fatigue, while the unique, short Gaetbae boat experience is also popular. Seoraksan Gwongeumseong allows easy appreciation of Seoraksan's landscape via cable car, and Abai Village and Sokcho Jungang Market offer diverse culinary delights. Yeonggeumjeong and Naksansa Temple are noted for their refreshing views of the East Sea. Additionally, autumn foliage driving routes through Inje Birch Forest or Hallyeong and Misiryeong old roads are recommended.

Travelers share positive experiences, such as seeing their parents satisfied in Waterpia's hinoki lemon bath during filial piety trips or marveling at Seoraksan's grand scenery from Gwongeumseong. Many note that early October, when Seoraksan's autumn leaves are just beginning to turn, offers a less crowded and more leisurely autumn drive compared to peak season.
