Wangkok Village is located about 1.5 km inland from the coast and is surrounded by five hills shaped like peaks about 200m above sea level and the lagoon Songjiho (circumference 4km, area 200,000 pyeong), forming a basin in the shape of a 'gol' isolated from the outside. To the east of the village is Golmusang, to the southeast Songjiho, to the south Hogunsan and Jegoksan, to the west Jinbangsan, and to the north Oeumsan. Oeumsan, located north of the village, extends southwest through the village along the Wanggokcheon stream, forming a settlement with deep longitudinal shape. Houses are naturally arranged along the village road that follows the stream in the village center, characterized by relatively wide vegetable gardens between houses without separate fences, separating the houses by the garden boundaries. The house structure of Wangkok Village includes an anbang (main room), dojangg (storage room), sarangbang (men’s quarters), maru (wooden floor room), and kitchen all in one building, with the kitchen attached to a livestock pen in a combined house structure. The front yard, directly connected to the village road, serves as a communal work space open to outsiders, while the backyard, surrounded by relatively high walls, is a private space for women and not open to others. Only the roof of the backyard is visible, reflecting a design considerate of women's activity space. The traditional houses of Wangkok Village, full of history and tradition, also offer lodging experiences. One can escape modern urban life and spend quiet, relaxed time in a place where time seems to have stopped, living just as 200 years ago.

Gonghyeonjin 1-ri Beach is located along National Route 7, offering convenient access and a chance to experience a simple fishing village. This beach features a clean coastline and about 12,000 pyeong of sandy shore, with fine sand and shallow waters, making it a favorable spot for swimming. Along the road leading into the village, you can often see local residents repairing fishing nets, adding to the charm of this typical small fishing village. It is also a good place for making fond memories with children by clam digging. Nearby Gonghyeonjin Port serves fresh raw fish, making it a great spot for sashimi lovers. Quiet yet well-equipped with amenities, this beach mainly attracts family visitors, many of whom return year after year.

Seonnang Rock is a rocky coast developed in the granite area south of Songjiho Beach, where weathering landforms of granite and wave erosion combine to create a very unique geological landscape. In particular, thick quartz veins intrude between granite layers, forming a distinctive appearance. The name Seonnang Rock comes from the Seonnangdang (Seonghwangdang) shrine of Oho-ri village located there. Seonnangdang is a traditional Korean shrine area dedicated to the village guardian deity, Seonnangshin (Seonghwangsin), and is a place where it is taboo to damage or remove objects freely. Additionally, Seonnang Rock changes shape depending on the viewing direction (east, west, south, north), and is nicknamed Snoopy Rock because it resembles Snoopy. Especially remarkable is a small pine tree growing atop the rock. Next to the fan-shaped rock, there is another curious rock: a cube-shaped rock with a hole in the center and a small pine tree growing between its cracks.

Oho Fishing Village Experience Village is located in Jukwang-myeon, Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do. Nearby is Songjiho Beach, famous for its clear water and fine sand. Songjiho Beach not only features wide and fine sand but also embraces Jukdo, a long island with beautiful scenery. It is an ideal place for beachgoers, especially families. Oho-ri has had several names, including Orijin, and it is said that near the old village were five ponds called Songjiho [松池湖], Geumjiho [錦池湖], Beongae, Beodeonggae, and Hwangpo, which led to the village being called Orori.
