Daegwallyeong Pass: Exploring the Alps of Korea

Aerial view of snow-covered Daegwallyeong Pass

If you are looking for a true winter wonderland in South Korea, look no further than Daegwallyeong Pass. Nestled in the heart of the Taebaek Mountains in Pyeongchang, this high mountain pass transforms into a majestic "White Kingdom" during the winter. From a drone's perspective, the pure white snow covering the entire landscape is a cinematic spectacle that earns its nickname, the "Alps of Korea."

1. A Masterpiece of Winter Geometry

From above, Daegwallyeong reveals its true artistic form. The sharp, vertical lines of the snow-covered pine trees create stunning geometric patterns that are only visible from the air. The deep green of the pine needles peeking through the thick white snow forms a beautiful contrast that captures the serenity and tranquility of a quiet winter morning in the Gangwon region.

2. Cinematic Contrasts

The winding roads of the pass, which used to be the main gateway between the west and east coasts, now serve as a scenic path for travelers seeking the beauty of the highlands. The interplay between the man-made curves of the road and the organic flow of the snowy peaks provides endless inspiration for drone photographers and nature lovers alike.

These were the food stops that stood out to me during the trip, from mazemen in Naha to cheap conveyor-belt sushi in Chatan and taco rice near the airport. Some places were planned, some were accidental, and a few were so good that I would happily go back. Quick note before you go This post mixes small local spots and well-known chains . For some independent restaurants, a live official menu was not clearly published online, so I used a current price guide instead of pretending every exact menu number was fixed. For chains and official facility-linked stores, I used the latest details I could verify. 1) Mazemen Mahoroba in Naha I originally wanted to eat at the very popular Danbo ramen, but the line was too long, so I gave up and came here instead. That turned out to be a very good decis...
