There is a "Story Bike" (Story Bike) rental shop near the entrance, where you can rent bicycles to circle the lake! It's a pity that all the bicycles were borrowed that day. There are shop assistants who can speak a little Chinese in the store, and the communication is not bad.

In fact, it was a bit unexpected, because I met a lot of people having picnics under the cherry trees in Seoul Children's Grand Park. I didn't see any tourists at Yonglang Lake in Sokcho, and there were no people sitting under the trees for picnics. There were not many people. It's quite comfortable, and it's much easier to take pictures, which is not bad.
