Seongyojang is the most well-preserved and dignified nobleman’s house in the Gangwon-do region. Located about 4km from Gyeongpo in Gangneung-si, Seongyojang represents the residences of the upper class during the Joseon Dynasty and is designated as a National Folk Cultural Heritage site. When Gyeongpo Lake was larger, the village was called Baedari Village (船橋里) because people traveled by boat to cross over; the name Seongyojang originates from this. In 1703 during the reign of King Yeongjo of Joseon, Lee Naebeon, a descendant of Prince Hyoryeong, built the house on a site considered auspicious, which he discovered while chasing a weasel. His descendants still live there today. The total floor area is 1,051.24m² (318 pyeong), featuring a main house, annex, East Byeoldang, family shrine, and other buildings surrounded by long corridors, along with the Hwallaejeong pavilion built over a pond of several hundred pyeong in front of the gate, showing a perfect structure with a garden. Seongyojang is valuable not only for its buildings but also as a precious resource for studying residential life and household items in the late Joseon period, and the scenery blending with the surroundings is beautiful.

Gangneung Gyeongpodae is one of the representative scenic spots of Gangneung and is designated as National Treasure No. 2046. It is one of the Gwandong Eight Views reflecting the culture of the Goryeo period and is a pavilion located on the northern hill of Gyeongpo Lake. Built in the 13th year of King Chungsuk of Goryeo, it has detailed records of one relocation and several reconstructions, with especially detailed records even before its construction, allowing a concrete understanding of the changes over time. The name 'Gyeongpodae' features a signboard in the style of cursive script by Yuhanji and a regular script signboard by Lee Ikhoe. Inside Gyeongpodae are many writings of notable figures and poets, including King Sukjong's own 'Eoje-si', and 'Gyeongpodaebu' composed by Yulgok Yi I at age ten, as well as Cho Hamang's ridgepole inscription. Surrounding the pavilion are appropriately dense pine and sawtooth oak trees, creating an elegant landscape. The Gyeongpo Eight Views and Gyeongpo Wolsam are renowned as magnificent scenes of the world. Nearby attractions include Gyeongpo Lake with its old pine forest and cherry trees, and the coastal sand bar separating Gyeongpo Lake from the East Sea, which forms Gyeongpo Beach.
