Kangwon Land

The Korean government tried to introduce several alternatives to revitalize the local economy, but the community repeatedly and vigorously requested a domestic casino, and it became authorized in December 1995.

[3] In October 2000, when Kangwon Land first opened to Korean citizens as well as to international tourists, it had one hotel with 199 rooms and a casino that had only 30 table games and 480 slot machines.

The effort to diversify sales continues today, as Kangwon Land is constructing a new convention hotel and 2 more condominiums.

Kangwon Land offers scholarship to students in abandoned mine areas and also spends 2 billion won each year to treat pneumoconiosis patients and support their livelihood.

[4] Kangwon Land Casino is located at the foot of High1 Ski and Golf Resort in Sapuk-eup, Jeongseongun, South Korea.

The casino itself covers a gross floor area of 27,291 square meters and houses 200 gaming tables and 1,360 slots and video gambling machines.

[5] High1 is one of Korea's most famous and popular ski and leisure resorts, located between Gohan and Sabuk in Jeongseon County, Gangwon Province.

In addition to mementos like Seo-nang-dang (a shrine in honor of a deity) and Jang-seung (totem poles) located at the entrance to the village, Yeon-ja-bang-a (a millstone usually worked by an ox) and a farming tool workshop display, the theme park is designed to show how the people living in this area were engaged in their community.

[8] Lumi Arte which starts from the sculpture park trail and ends at the lake is one of the most popular night sightseeing attractions in High1 Resort.
