Just south of Gyeongpo Beach is Chodang Dubu Village, which is famous for dubu (tofu). Chodang dubu is made from ground beans and salt water from the East Sea resulting in a soft and light tofu. The name of this village, Chodang, originates from the name of a famous family that once lived here known as Chodang Heoyeop. Heoyeop was the father of son, writer/poet Heo Gyun (1569~1618) and daughter, poet Heonan-seolheon (1563~1589). A traditional-style Korean house has been reconstructed on the site where the original house of Heo Gyun and Heonan Seolheon once stood.

Gyeongpodae Pavilion, located on a small hill north of Gyeongpoho Lake, is one of the eight scenic sites of Gwangdong (northeastern coast). The pavilion was originally built in 1326 but was moved to its current location in 1508. The pavilion shape and design changed over time before settling on the current design. The pavilion has five pillars in the front and on the side, with a gabled roof line, a common design in Korean architecture.

The inside of Gyeongpodae Pavilion is decorated with calligraphy and poems written by many famous scholars of the Joseon dynasty, including both King Sukjong and Yulgok Yi I. The pavilion is surrounded by a pine tree forest, and is famous for its view of the moon reflecting off the waters of the lake below, which gave the pavilion its name. The area around the pavilion was designated as a provincial park in 1981.

Hasllacafe is a cafe located on Gangneung Coffee Street, next to Anmokhaebyeon Beach, Gangneung. Its Korean name combines Gangneung’s old name, “Haslla,” with “gabae,” a transliteration of coffee in Korea. Like its name, the cafe takes its aesthetic cues from the modern period of Korea. The café’s interior resemble that of a luxurious palace or a banquet hall in Europe. The view of Anmokhaebyeon Beach by the windows is a perfect backdrop for a defining picture of a trip to Gangneung. The cafe has two floors with rooftop seating. In contrast to the first floor’s dignified retro aesthetics, the latter has an ambience like that of holiday resorts, giving the impression of two separate cafes existing together in one space. The menu includes coffee and other beverages with a wide selection of dessert cakes. Visitors who brought cars can use the public parking lot at Anmokhaebyeon Beach.
This café also offers siphon coffee. Siphon coffee is made by extracting coffee in a condition similar to a vacuum, created using differences in air pressure. The entire process is visible through glass flasks, adding to the retro aesthetics of the space, not to mention the unique flavors created by this process.
