The sun rises just a bit more beautifully in Gangneung, particularly in nearby Jeongdongjin, where watching the dawn break on the South Korean horizon is an epic experience and a national New Year's pastime. The beaches and museums are splendid, and Gangneung’s unique parks are worthy of exploration. Kids will be awed by the submarine and warship at Tongil Park, while adults will go nuts for the dramatic architecture and contemporary works of Haslla Art World.

努沙杜瓦 (Nusa Dua) 是一處適合豪華旅館、哥爾夫度假村、高級餐廳與休閒娛樂的地點。好動的觀光客來到這裡，最愛的熱門活動當然是衝浪和潛水。踩著台階拾級而上即可抵達「母廟」百沙基寺 (Mother Temple Besakih) ，沿途結合了觀光與重量訓練。另外還有一整排的 SPA、畫廊與精品店，為遊客提供其他較不消耗體力的選擇。你也可到巴杜布蘭 (Batubulan) 欣賞當地的巴龍舞 (Barong)。
