강릉 이야기<br />
THE STORY OF GANGNEUNG<br />
솔향, 바다향, 커피향 그리고 향기로운 전통과 활기찬 오늘이 있는 곳, 강릉입니다. 강릉시는 한반도의<br />
허리인 태백산맥 동쪽 중앙에 위치하고 있으며, 해안 및 산악지역을 포함하고 있어 해안형과 내륙형을<br />
겸비한 입지적 요건을 갖추고 있을 뿐만 아니라 우수한 역사적 문화자원과 천혜의 관광자원이 풍부한<br />
관광도시로서 고도의 멋과 전통이 살아있는 역사·문화·교육의 도시이자 녹색성장의 도시입니다.<br />
강릉은 도시 전체가 관광지라고 해도 과언이 아닙니다. 강릉에는 여름 휴가철에 600만~800<br />
만명이 찾아오며, 연간 방문객은 1,500만 명에서 1,800만명입니다. 주요 관광자원으로는<br />
강원도지방유형문화재 제6호인 경포대와 강릉을 대표하는 인물인 신사임당과 율곡이이가 나고 자란<br />
오죽헌, 조선시대 전통 사대부 가옥 양식을 그대로 간직한 300년 역사의 고택 강릉선교장, 기차와<br />
바다 그리고 낭만이 공존하는 정동진역등이 유명합니다.<br />
향기로운 커피와 아름다운 바다가 공존하는 도시 강릉<br />
은은한 커피향이 남다른 강릉, 강릉 커피거리 중 안목해변은 발이 닿는 어디든 향긋한 커피 한 잔에<br />
지평선 끝까지 펼쳐지는 바다 풍경은 덤입니다. 강릉 커피거리의 카페 창문들은 하나같이 바다를<br />
향하고 있고, 언제 어디서든지 탁 트인 바다 풍광을 마음껏 감상하며 커피를 마시고, 음악을 들으며<br />
여유를 체감할 수 있습니다. 바다와 커피는 강릉하면 떠오르는 대표적인 이미지인만큼 바다라는<br />
낭만적인 공간과 여유를 상징하는 커피가 만나 ‘강릉’에 대한 노스탤지어를 자극합니다. 더불어 최근<br />
강릉 커피거리에서 개인 텀블러를 사용하고자 하는 작은 실천은 지속가능한 관광자원을 지키고자<br />
하는 지역민과 관광객들의 소망도 느낄 수 있습니다.<br />
