Introduction

Gyeongpodae and Gyeongpo Beach are a beautiful, famous lake-and-sea sight in Gangneung, where a pretty lake, an archaic pavilion and a long beach are lovely and pleasant, a beautiful sight in Gangneung. Gyeongpodae and Gyeongpo Beach form a beautiful, famous natural scene where lake and sea meet in Gangneung. Gyeongpodae is a simple, graceful traditional pavilion perched high overlooking the pretty Gyeongpo Lake, one of Korea's famous Eight Views of Gwandong (eight renowned coastal sights in eastern Korea); in the past scholars and poets climbed it to enjoy the scenery, the moon and compose verses. From the pavilion's railing you overlook the pretty, open, clear Gyeongpo Lake (a calm, mirror-like lake that gives the place its name), the lakeside hills and the distant sea, beautiful and pleasant (the pavilion is especially famed for moon-viewing, with a legend that here one can see several moons at once, in the sky, on the lake, in one's cup and in a lover's eyes, full of poetry). Beyond the lake by the sea stretches the beautiful, long, famous Gyeongpo Beach, a pretty, open, white sandy beach along the East Sea, a renowned swimming and seaside resort: the soft white sand, the open blue sea and the coastal pine forest make it a delightful spot for summer swimming and watching the magnificent sea sunrise. The pretty lake, archaic pavilion, long beach and open sea together form a beautiful, open, tranquil and pleasant lakeside-seaside scene. A visit to Gangneung and its beautiful Gyeongpodae and Gyeongpo Beach is a beautiful sight.
