Here’s What Pyeongchang Looks Like Now
Three months after the end of the Olympics, the resort town is all but deserted.
On a sunny weekend afternoon in Pyeongchang, South Korea, 34-year-old Gu-ru Suh and her parents wandered near Alpensia Sports Park, one of the many sports complexes developed for the 2018 Winter Olympic Games.
Three months earlier, the area was swarming with international visitors watching ski jumping, bobsledding, and other mountain events. But on this weekend in May, hotels were nearly empty, cafes were shuttered, and the resort was eerily quiet.
