[edit] Overview

Donghae (동해, 東海) is a medium sized Korean city on the East Coast. A strange American kind of city - no proper focus, highways running here and there cutting neighborhoods off from each other.

The population is around 150,000.

[edit] Transportation

The nearest major city is Gangneung which is about 30 minutes away by bus. Bus services to Seoul are regular and cheap (running roughly every 30 minutes and costing around 19000 won). The journey time to Seoul is around 3-4 hours depending on traffic.
