Why go

Daegwallyeong Museum in Pyeongchang, Gangwon, is the dedicated public museum on the Daegwallyeong ("Great Mountain Pass") historic mountain road and the surrounding highland culture — Daegwallyeong was the most important mountain pass connecting Seoul-area Joseon central administration with the eastern Gangwon coast for over 500 years until modern roads bypassed the route. The museum displays original highway-pass artifacts (period travel equipment, mountain-traveler diaries, period photographs), and bilingual interpretation contextualizing the pass within broader Korean travel and trade history. The high-elevation setting itself is part of the visit. Free entry. About 90 minutes. Pair with the Daegwallyeong Sky Ranch.
