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!

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.
