Chuncheon has a lot going for it. If you’ve been around for a bit, you’ve probably heard that the city has made its name for being the origins of dakgalbi.

But if their famed dish were to act as a compelling bait-and-switch just to come to the city, you’ll find much more than spicy chicken mixed with fried rice.

American Box is all the rage. American cuisine with towering burgers in an American diner setting.

 

While gorging in the city, Gangchon Rail Park waits for you to take in the scenery on a refurbished rail line that you can travel along on your own rail bike.

 

 

For those seeking upscale accommodation, you can do no wrong by staying at Albano Pension, just west of Chuncheon in neighboring Gapyeong.

And for Lego fanatics, you’ll be pleased to know that Chuncheon is looking out for you, with their plans to develop a massive Lego-themed amusement park on an island within the city by 2016.
