The Northern Lakeside Anchor

A lakeside city of dakgalbi, river islands, Soyang water, and enough urban rhythm to anchor the northern route.

Chuncheon gives Route 3 its first real city chapter. It keeps the line from becoming only scenery by adding food identity, lake culture, and a practical overnight before the route turns quieter toward Yanggu.
