Gangwon Wind Park

Gangwon - After a hearty breakfast, we left the hotel @ 10am for the Gangwon Wind Farm and later for a good seafood lunch.   It took about an hour to reach the base of this mountain and it was fantastic that cars are allowed to drive up the mountain.   The highest peak 1,500m above sea level.

View from the base of the mountain
Yesterday, it snowed so it is still visible around the mountain.  In the background, are the renewable Wind Power turbines.

This Korean movie was filmed here


My Korean partner car that drove up this mountain....





A close up view of the Wind Turbine
It is really good feeling to know that this province believes in renewable energy.  Up on this mountain, it is very windy and you can hear the wind turbine churning around.  This wind turbine is huge.

As the wind mill turns, it cast a shadow on the group and Byoung Kee decided to 'hop' over the shadow.  This photo looks like he is levitating...cool
