Naejangsan National Park

Reviewed By StarrySea - Singapore, Singapore

Stayed in Naejangsan for 3 nights in Haniljang Motel in the 1st week of November 19 which located very near to park entrance. The peak of foliage is on 2nd week of November this year. The foliage is beautiful even though it is not at its peak. The weather is very cold in the morning that we have to wear gloves and the sky is dark at 5pm. Tourist could buy park entrance ticket at 3000won/day at the entrance and walk a short distance to a ticket booth to buy the shuttle bus tickets at 1000won/way. The bus will go to cable car station. For those who do not go to the observatory, I would suggest to walk towards the Wooden gate and up Naejangsan temples for sightseeing instead. From the temples walk back cable car bus stop and another 4km back to park entrance, towards the Naejang Information Centre. In this journey you will expect to hear local musicians singing lovely songs, see beautiful and colorful foliage, serene pavilion and few tangerine trees. A short distance outside the park entrance, there are tents where the local sell their meals. Along the roadsides there are sale of fry red bean and ginseng fritters, seasonal small tangerine and persimmon, etc. There are many restaurants but only one coffee cafe and convenience store beside 171 bus stop. At the cable car station, there is a lotteria fast food restaurant selling burger and it opens at 7am. For tourists who do not prepare for hiking I do not suggest to take one way cable car to observatory and walk down as the route down is slippery and not much to see. Overall, we had enjoyed the Naejangsan National Park very much. A must visit place during autumn in Korea.

Moak Mountain

Reviewed By jaswaydav - Jeonju, South Korea

This is a great hike that is very close to Jeonju. I take my dog there and she loves to get to the top! There are different routes to take for different types of hikers. One of the hikes starts at Geumsansa Temple, and that is a beautiful temple if you want to spend more time in the mountains.

Byeonsanbando National Park

Reviewed By jaswaydav - Jeonju, South Korea

I took my dog on the loop hike around Naesosa. You have to use the trail head to the side of the main entrance because dogs aren't allowed to the temple. The loop trail took us 3 and half hours and we were both well worn by the end. Beautiful scenery along a ridge with not too many people.

Eunpa Lake Park

Reviewed By XamatTomax - Fort Wayne, United States

I always enjoyed walking around this area. There’s a beautiful lake with a fountain. It’s great for a solo trip with your camera, going for a stroll with someone, or taking the family out to enjoy the day. I loved walking around Eunpa during all seasons. Bundle up and enjoy the snow covered ground and trees, or bring sunscreen and enjoy the lake on a hot sunny day. My favorite time is when the weather is a little cooler and the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. It’s very picturesque.
