Gapyeong is known for its natural environment, and borders the mountainous province of
Gangwon on the east. The north branch of the
Han River flows through the area. Several reservoirs and resorts are located in the county. The
Namiseom resort island, while not strictly located in the county, is situated very close south of Gapyeong. Gapyeong is also known for being the home to a number of Korea's
makgeolli producers and it is where an annual National Makgeolli Festival has been held since 2011. ==Education==
