$40 in 🇰🇷 Gangneung, South Korea

#asiabudgetchallenge
Gangneung, on Korea’s east coast, is famous for beaches and coffee. I visited Anmok Beach, where cafés line the sand, and watched surfers while sipping fresh brews. Then I explored Ojukheon House (home of a famous Korean scholar) and hiked to Gyeongpo Lake. The city has a great mix of seaside and tradition.

📍Destination: Gangneung, South Korea
💸Rough Budget: ₩60,000–₩90,000/day (~$40)
💡Top Tip: Take the KTX train from Seoul — it’s fast, scenic, and drops you near the beach!
