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!

Gyeongpo Beach

Reviewed By eidsotk - Jakarta, Indonesia

388/5000 view of gyeongpo beach in mid-december 2019. The beach is very beautiful for children to play even though the cold wind blows very hard and big waves. the cold experience while walking paid off with a visit to a very large number of seafood restaurants at affordable prices. about 50% cheaper compared to the same menu at the hotel we stayed.

Ojukheon

Reviewed By M_Raman - Jamnagar, India

Ojukheon House is an exquisitely preserved part of the Korean history which is definitely worth a vist. It is a peaceful place which houses the old house where Yuglok and his mother lived, museums showcasing korean history and lifestyle during various eras. The digitized images of Sin Saimdang's paintings are a beautiful sight. We visited during autumn and the fall foliage adds a unique charm to the place and makes it even more aesthetically pleasing.
