Information Introduction The village of Cheongho-dong is now the hometown to many people of North Korean ancestry and is commonly referred to as ‘Abai village
’ The word ‘Abai’ comes from the Hamgyeong-do dialect meaning ‘an aged person
’ Many elderly people fled to Cheongho-dong from North Korea during the Korean War; the large number of older residents resulted in the town’s current nickname
The streets of Cheongho-dong are lined with small Korean houses reminding many of Seoul in the 1970s
The simple nature of the town and quietness of the sea make for a unique atmosphere in Cheongho-dong
This area became extremely popular after the Korean drama "Autumn in My Heart" was filmed here
In the drama, the lead actress’s mother had a supermarket in Cheongho-dong
Nearby the supermarket the lead actress often took a boat, which has now become a popular attraction for tourists
Holding up to 35 people, this ‘Gaetbae’ boat operates on manpower (people pulling on ropes moving the boat across a waterway) and can be taken from downtown Sokcho to Cheongho-dong
When looking for a bite to eat, Abai sundae and hamheung naengmyeon are two of the most popular dishes
Film Locations "Autumn in My Heart" Parking Facilities Available Admission Fees Free Available Facilities Expo venue, beach, lighthouse, restaurants, Gaetbae (boat), sea fishing, biking, hiking, cruise Restrooms Available Pets Permitted
