Chilseong Shipyard 칠성조선소
Sokcho · Jungang Market & Dongmyeong · Cafe
A shipyard where fishing boats were once repaired has been turned into a cafe and cultural space, and its industrial bones remain: steel beams, big doors and an outdoor terrace next to the water. Drinks and light bites are served inside, and the terrace is the best seat when the weather is mild. Photographers love the view of the lake with the mountains behind.
Arrive early on weekends, because the most popular tables go quickly. Prices are a little high for the setting. Some areas may be closed or change use, so check on site.
Hours may change.
A taxi from the Express Bus Terminal takes about 10 minutes, and the lake path leads here on foot from Sokcho Expo Tower. (Show a driver: 칠성조선소)
