The Yangyang area is well known for its pine mushrooms (song-i), its fish—particularly salmon—and its sunrises. In 2002, Yangyang opened its own airport, serving Busan and two cities in China.

Sokcho
Sokcho (속초) is a city in Gangwon-do province, South Korea. It is located in the far northeast of Gangwon-do. Lying north of the 38th parallel, the city belonged to North Korea from 1945 until the end of the Korean War, when the dividing line between the two Korean states was officially altered. Consequently, many of the population have relatives in North Korea. Today, Sokcho receives a number of tourists attracted by the closeness to the DMZ.

It is located in Yangyang County, Gangwon Province and was built to serve the nearby areas of Sokcho, Gangneung and Pyeongchang. The airport replaced Gangneung and Sokcho airports. Since 2008, the airport has had no scheduled flights, although there are occasional charters to China, Japan, and Taiwan. China Eastern and China Southern formerly served this airport.
