Jeongdong-Simgok Badabuchae-gil Trail

Reviewed By pl55 - Singapore, Singapore

This 2.8 km walk along the rocky coast can be enjoyed by most and not just the super fit. Do start from the Jeongdong end at the Sun Cruise resort as advised by a tripadvisor reviewer as it's easier to go down the higher steeper stairs here. Try not to be nervous when treading on iron grill steps and boardwalk. I thoroughly enjoyed the walk despite the effort of going up and down stairs in several parts. Although visitors are not supposed to take photos along the walk, many of us tend to forget without any problem fortunately. Upon reaching Simgok, we spotted a waiting cab and hopped into it to head for Chodang Village to have our sundubu lunch.

Gyeongpodae

Reviewed By gunnchoi - Gangneung, South Korea

Just stay keep calm. I like the moment. You can see the beautiful lake and much inspiration would come to u! Having relax. 쉼을 생각하며 머물길 추천, 호수를 보며 시간대마다 각각 다른 엉감이 나에게 다가왔다. 마치 시도 예술도 나에게서 나올것만 같은 정취적인 장소

An excellent view and terrific photo opportunity. Arrive early to avoid the congestion of others. Cable car tickets must be purchased on site the day of use and the earlier the better.

Korean Peninsula-shaped Cliffs (Seonam Village)

Reviewed By RichieJ1993 - Seoul, South Korea

It’s a short 15 minute hike to the cliff from the parking lot. Nice trail walk and you have vendors around the parking lot selling local delicacies and drink for your post-hike rehydration.
