Abai Village

Abai Village Sokcho

Explore a neighbourhood shaped by refugees from northern Korea. Its local food and hand-pulled Gaetbae ferry are part of the experience; check whether the ferry is running when you arrive. Plan your visit: Explore the waterfront lanes and local food with time to understand the village's displaced-family history. The gaetbae crossing, if operating, is a separate small transport experience. Keep nearby residential doors clear and plan a short walk around your meal.
