Gangneung is considered special due to its access to both a lake and the sea. [[Gyeongpodae]] is a pavilion overlooking a [[Gyeongpo lake]]. It is said that a person can see the Moon five times when at Gyeongpodae: once in the sky, once reflected in the lake, once reflected in the sea, once reflected in the drinking glass, and once more in the eyes of a lover. The site of Gyeongpodae is known for its location east of the centre of the city.<ref name="gye">Korea Tourism Organization (2005).

Inside the Gyeongpodae pavilion, built with 28 pillars, is the ''Gyeongpodaebu'', a poem by [[Yul Gok]]. ''Gyeongpodaebu'' describes the movement of the heavens and the Moon. The best view of the Moon is on the 15th of the lunar month.<ref name="gye" />

The nearby Gyeongpo Beach has a sandy beach and a line of fresh seafood restaurants, with its proximity to [[Seoul]] making it a popular summer destination.
