Gohan: High1 Ski Resort
Built around coal mines, Gohan-eup grew into a mountain town in Jeongseon County, Gangwon-do. High1 Ski Resort occupies forested ground in the Taebaek Mountains, a long ridge system that forms much of eastern South Korea’s interior. It was developed as part of the Kangwon Land tourism complex, created to help diversify an area shaped for decades by coal production. The resort’s runs, lift lines and base facilities make it one of South Korea’s established winter-sports destinations, while the surrounding terrain supports mountain recreation throughout the year. Gohan remains closely tied to the former mining belt of the Taebaek region. Jeongseon’s best-known cultural tradition is Arirang, a Korean folk-song form associated especially with the county and celebrated at the Jeongseon Arirang Festival.

Gohan-eup sits in the mountainous interior of Gangwon-do, South Korea, where steep, forested terrain surrounds one of Jeongseon County’s historic coal-mining areas. Mining shaped the settlement and the wider former coalfield, while the local economy has since diversified around leisure and services. High1 Resort, whose ski facilities extend across the Gohan–Sabuk area, has made this upland district a notable winter-sports destination. Gohan is also within Jeongseon, a county closely associated with Jeongseon Arirang, a regional form of Korea’s celebrated folk-song tradition.

Built around the Taebaek Mountains and the upper Han River basin, Gangwon-do grew into South Korea’s broad northeastern province, extending from inland valleys to the East Sea coast. Chuncheon, the provincial capital, lies among lakes and waterways in the west, while the eastern districts meet the sea. Seoraksan National Park gives the region a strongly mountainous character, and winter sports remain an important part of its identity. PyeongChang hosted the 2018 Winter Olympics, bringing worldwide attention to Gangwon-do’s snowy uplands. Buckwheat dishes and fresh coastal seafood also feature prominently in local food traditions.

South Korea stretches from the mountainous border with North Korea to Jeju Island, encompassing forested ranges, fertile river basins and a deeply indented southern coast. The Taebaek Mountains run along much of the east, while the Han River crosses Seoul before reaching the Yellow Sea. Busan faces the Korea Strait, and tidal flats and islands shape the country’s western shore. Seoul combines dense contemporary districts with royal Joseon sites, including Gyeongbokgung Palace, first built in 1395. Kimchi and bibimbap are central to everyday cuisine, while the Korean alphabet, Hangeul, was created in the 15th century.
