Seoraksan National Park

Reviewed By Kendramcc - Hove, United Kingdom

My daughter and I visited Seoraksan as part of a month long trip around South Korea. We stayed in Sokcho-si for 3 nights and this proved to be an excellent choice as a local number 7 or 7-1 bus takes you into the gates of the National Park for 1250₩ The park has multiple routes and trails you can follow of varying distances and heights to climb. There is a cable car to one of the peaks but we opted for a 3km climb (mostly steps but initially there are rocky paths to clamber up) to Towangseongpokpo. The MOST STUNNING views when I finally made it to the top! My daughter danced on ahead like it was no effort ???? I’ve attached a few pictures - if you are visiting South Korea and are able to squeeze in a day trip to Seoraksan, I promise it will be worth it!

Chiaksan National Park

Reviewed By ikennen - Seoul, South Korea

A relatively easy walk up to the waterfall, through beautiful terrain, along well-kept paths. If you hit the trails in the morning, there aren’t crowds until you’re heading back down out of the mountain in the afternoon. Well worth a visit, and the nearby city of Wonju.
