Operated using renewable energy, the Gangneung Green City Experience Center is the nation’s first eco-friendly facility where visitors can explore a green city. From the grassy lawn at the entrance to the streetlights, eco-friendly technologies have been applied throughout the entire site. Visitors can directly see and experience energy generated from nature, offering an opportunity to reflect on the importance of the natural environment.

The Green City Experience Center consists of an integrated convention center and an experiential training center. It hosts a variety of educational and exhibition programs, including an experiential exhibition hall with frequently changing themes and hands-on environmental education classes. At the experiential training center, which features a lake garden and accommodations, rooms are provided at a set fee exclusively for participants in the programs. The center also operates various experiential programs designed to spark interest in environmental education, such as the Green System Tour, Eco Tour, Green Academy, and Green Weekend Experience. The Eco Tour is an activity where visitors ride an electric bus called “Chorok-i,” powered by an electric motor instead of fossil fuels, to visit nearby green city project sites, tourist attractions, and cultural heritage locations.

The Green City Experience Center is composed of an integrated convention center and an experiential training center. The convention center is surrounded by walls fitted with solar power panels, a form of renewable energy. The energy generated here is used to operate the building.
