The story

Sokcho Tourism explains that Pinodia reused the aging Expo theme hall built for the 1999 Gangwon International Tourism Expo.

Behind the signature

The attraction's identity is reuse plus Renaissance learning: Da Vinci inventions, Michelangelo casts and fresco reproductions, gallery programs, and the Expo Tower share one site.

Local tip

Pair it with Cheongchoho Lake Park, Expo Tower, Cheongchojeong Pavilion, or Sokcho Tourist Fishery Market depending on weather and meal timing.

Seasonal note

Hours vary by official notice and summer season. For evening visits, verify the current closing time before sending travelers.

For travelers

For international visitors, Pinodia offers an indoor, low-weather-risk culture stop that is easier to navigate than language-heavy local-history exhibits.

💡
Pro tip
Pinodia is the indoor cultural stop around Cheongchoho and Expo Tower, especially useful for families or on rainy days when the lake and beach are less appealing.
