Gangneung Olympic Village was the accommodation hub for athletes and officials during the 2018 Winter Olympics. Located near the coast, it comprised apartment-style buildings with dining halls, fitness centers, and medical facilities. After the Games, the village was converted into a residential area called Olympic Village Town. Visitors can walk through the quiet, well-planned streets lined with mid-rise apartments and green spaces. The site retains Olympic-themed landscaping and signage, offering a glimpse into the Games' legacy. It's a peaceful place to reflect on the international spirit of the Olympics.
