Hiking Seoraksan in autumn feels like stepping into a painting—vibrant reds, golds, and oranges blanket the mountains. Each turn reveals new vistas, with jagged peaks rising against the blue sky. The crisp air fills me with energy, and as I climb higher, the view becomes even more breathtaking. Nature’s masterpiece. #southkorea #Autum #travel #naturalwonders #seoraksan #100waysoftravel

#seoulattractions When you come to South Korea, how can you miss the unique customs near the 38th Parallel? 60 kilometers away from Seoul, a border trip is waiting for you! JSA, also known as Panmunjom, is where the ceasefire agreement was signed. You can take photos here, with the opponent's soldiers with live ammunition as the background, and experience the blend of excitement and history. Next, enter the DMZ. A 4-kilometer-wide and 240-kilometer-long buffer zone separates North and South Korea. Tank traps, electric fences, and mines are all available here, and fully armed troops are on standby.

#EmotionalCafe#InjeTravel I've been to Inje quite often, but here I discovered an unexpected river view Why is the view so good? Drinking coffee while looking at the river view is always healing Since it's also operated as a stay, there were quite a lot of bakery products, I recommend it as a cafe where you can enjoy the Inje view - - 📍Coffee Hall Bakery Inje Stay Branch 6759 Naerincheon-ro, Inje-eup, Inje-gun, Gangwon-do

It's a cafe inside the 38th parallel rest area near the Yangyang beach. The owner personally wrote it in his own handwriting. It's right in front of the beach, so you can heal while looking at the ocean view. #Emotional cafe

You can enjoy a large cypress bath, barbecue, chicken stew with a lid, and wine in a 50-pyeong Hanok villa, and it has two rooms, so it's perfect for friends or families!! Sitting in a cypress bath that can fit two adults, listening to warm sunlight and music was so healing🫧 🌱The biggest advantage of Ilhuilbak🌱 is ✔️A wine bar where you can choose the wine you want ✔️A water purifier that dispenses fruit or vegetable wash ✔️Not only barbecue, but also a pot-top chicken stew that you can order ✔️Dyson Airwrap & dryer and Aesop & L'Occitane amenities I had such a happy time enjoying all of this in a 'Ilhuilbak' private accommodation🤤💛 ✨If you go from Dong Seoul Terminal to Baekdamsa Terminal, there is a accommodation within walking distance, so I recommend it to backpackers✨ 🏡Ilhuilbak @1hue1bak - Baekdam-ro, Buk-myeon, Inje-gun, Gangwon-do - Located 30 minutes away from Sokcho ✔️Instructions✔️ -Standard 2 people, up to 4 people, cooking Available -Kitchen, 2-room guest room, living room, 2 bathrooms, yard, barbecue area, large cypress bath, wine bar (1 bottle free) -LG Cinebeam 120 inches, StandbyMe, off-the-shelf water purifier, microwave, toaster, coffee machine, board games -Dyson Airwrap & dryer, Aesop & L'Occitane amenities #Emotional Accommodation #Couples #Inje Travel

#fallingforfall 🍂 Trust me when I say less than 10% Malaysian has discovered this place in South Korea. Let’s do something out of the typical itinerary. This is Seoraksan Mountain, one of the three highest peaks in South Korea. It is located in Sokcho-si. It is suitable for all ages as you can take a cable car ride around 10 minutes to the top of the mountain. It’s only around 3 hours driving from Seoul and you will find yourself in this golden heaven especially for someone who travel in the autumn. Those pictures I took myself during this year mid-autumn. Make sure to put this in your itinerary next time you are planning to go to South Korea.

Every single one was cozy and comfortable, It was a great place to rest just like its name♡´･ᴗ･`♡ From cozy bedding to cypress bath, beam projector, and plus, I could play, rest, and do everything just by staying in the accommodation✨ In the evening, I grilled meat at the outdoor barbecue area, and watched a movie on the beam projector while taking a foot bath, and it was so healing🌿 I love it so much that I want to go there again in the snowy winter🤍 _ 📍Ilhuilbak ▪️377 Manhae-ro, Buk-myeon, Inje-gun, Gangwon-do Ilhuilbak ▪️The room I used was “Cypress”:) ▪️Individual outdoor barbecue is possible if you apply in advance ▪️Beam projector, cypress hinoki bath, plus, etc. are available! ▪️The powder room is really pretty🥺 Be sure to take a picture..! I regret not taking one and coming🥲

Inje is quite far from Busan, but it's still a place I like, so I go there once a year, so it's a Gangwon-do travel destination that I love. The downside is that there aren't many pretty cafes that fit our taste of taking pictures?😂 It's a pretty big downside, but it was a short but very exciting day to find a cafe with a nice river view at sunset. It's on the first floor of Inje Stay Hotel, so I think it's a cafe with a good route for guests.💜 - - 📍Coffee Hall Bakery Inje Stay Branch 🧭Inje Stay Hotel 1st floor ⏰️Everyday 10:00-22:00 ▪️Designated parking lot is spacious ▪️Recommended outdoor seating with Naerincheon view ▪️Yes Kids Zone #Cafe with a good view #Inje #Riverview Cafe

Seoraksan National Park (설악산국립공원) is one of the most beautiful and famous national parks in South Korea. You can visit it all year round, and each season is beautiful in its own way. However, the most popular season for both foreign and Korean tourists to go hiking is during the autumn foliage season, because the valleys and trails are lined with red, orange, and yellow maple trees, almost lining the paths. Seoraksan National Park has many peaks. The highest peak is Daecheongbong, while the peak that tourists like to climb is Gwongeumseong Fortress, located in the east of Seoraksan National Park. Since there is a cable car that you can take to the top, and you have to walk another 1.5 kilometers to the top, it doesn't take long to conquer the top and see the beautiful scenery of Seoraksan above. However, if you have time and like hiking, I recommend climbing Ulsanbawi Rock. The length of the trail is about 3.8 kilometers. The first 2.8 kilometers is not very steep, and the last 1 kilometer to the top is quite a steep staircase, but the view from the top is very beautiful. From Sokcho, take the City Bus and get off at the entrance of Seoraksan National Park (about 20-25 minutes, buses every 10 minutes). Then walk for about 10 minutes. From Sokcho, take a taxi to the national park (about 10-15 minutes). ##South Korea #Nature

Korea Unique Venue designated by the Korea Tourism Organization. It is one of the 39 places selected with unique Korean charm and regional characteristics, and it is a 4-star hotel. It is the only circuit view hotel in Korea, and it has a special charm because the general public can use the circuit by reservation. The circuit view from the room is unique, and you can watch the racing cars from the room! Isn't this the first hotel like this? Breakfast (weekends), dinner are available, and the convenience store is well-run. The hotel itself doesn't have a lot to enjoy, and the location isn't great, but it is a good place to stay for those who have their own purpose, such as going to the birch forest or enjoying or watching racing at the circuit. It's hard to find a hotel of this quality in Inje. The only difference between the deluxe and superior rooms is the presence or absence of a terrace, so the superior room is sufficient. There is a famous restaurant called Yeoldeondae Makguksu nearby, so it's good to stop by together. We were so-so here, but it's famous, so I recommend it🖤 - - 📍Inje Speedium Hotel & Resort ⏰️Check-in 15:00, check-out 11:00 the next day 🚘Hotel parking lot (outdoor only) ℹ️Circuit-related experience discount available when using the room (10-20% discount coupon issued) ✅️Family circuit safari experience, etc. Recommended to enjoy circuit-related experiences together! ▫️Breakfast: Open only on weekends and holidays/07:00-10:00 ▫️Adults 28,000 Elementary school students 22,000 and younger 15,000 ▫️Dinner: Restaurant always open (refer to menu below) ▫️BBQ available at each hotel and resort #Ho-kang-se #Inje-hotel #Gangwon-do-accommodation

In winter, snow falls from January to March. The mountain view is very beautiful.

Seoraksan is a mountain in South Korea that is known for its scenic beauty and diverse plant and animal life. It is a popular destination for hiking and outdoor activities, and is home to many temples and cultural sites. The mountain is also designated as a National Park, which helps to protect its natural resources and biodiversity. The view was so spectacular that I really enjoyed my hike there.

🤍 Won-dae-ri Birch Forest 🤍 Gangwon-do Inje-gun Inje-eup Birch Forest Road 760 🤍 Summer 09:00 ~ 15:00 / Winter 09:00 ~ 14:00 Mon, Tue (Open if Monday and Tuesday fall on a public holiday) 🤍 You can explore the birch forest after recording your entry at the entrance. The birch forest is beautiful in all four seasons, but I'll vote for winter! ❄️ It was mysterious and enchanting because it felt like seeing a new sight thanks to the white birch trees and the thick snow. I thought it would be like this if there was a snow road in a fairy tale.. ⛄️ 🤍 Tips for use: They sell crampons at the entrance, so if you don't have them, you should definitely buy them and wear them. It's steeper than you think, so you might get hurt when coming down the slope. I went early and there weren't many people, but there were a lot of people entering the mountain by the time I came down, so I recommend going early!🫶🏻 🤍 Admission: Free 🤍 Rating: 💛💛💛💛💛 #WinterTravel #BirchForest #WondaeriBirchForest #WhisperingBirchForest #InjeBirchForest #Gangwon-doTravel #InjeTravel #HotPlace #DateCourse #Gangwon-do #DomesticTravelDestination #DomesticTravelRecommendation #DomesticTravel

#WinterTravel I went to Seoraksan. Since Heundeulbawi is famous in Seoraksan, I climbed up to Heundeulbawi. It wasn't that hard because it was winter, but there were a lot of frozen snow areas, so it was dangerous. I recommend winter hiking to those who don't like to sweat a lot!

#gohiking Seoraksan is around a few hours ride from Seoul and is an ideal place for hiking in nature in South Korea. There are a lot of nature trails available, lush greenery, beautiful mountains, waterfalls and rivers to explore. However, do note that some of the nature trails are quite long. If you go during the fall season, you will also get to see a different Seoraksan all colourful in red, green and yellow... A very beautiful place of which you can spend hours here exploring with no issues.

#Park In-hwan Literature Museum #Inje Travel #Family Travel It is in Inje because it is the hometown of poet Park In-hwan. It is the best free admission for children's education. The structure is very informative and the guide It was even better because he gave explanations. The inside is decorated to bring back memories. The outside is a photo zone and a place for children to play. You can see, hear, and experience things by pressing. There is trick art outside, so it is good for taking group photos. It was fun as a bonus. If you go to Inje, you must go.

Four trails in the Seoraksan National Park take the visitors to this peak, through Osaek, Baekdam, Seorak-dong, and Osaengnyeong (Hangyeryeong) Pass. The shortest trail is the 5 km-long Osaek Trail (Osaek – Seorak Falls – Daecheongbong Peak), taking about 4 hr in total. The management controls entry to Seoraksan National Park depending on weather conditions and period, so visitors are advised to check the real-time #celebratewithtrip #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #fallingforfall #mytripvlog #southkorea #passionpassport #exploresgtogether #enjoylifetothefullest #seoraksan #hikingadventures

Even children can easily enjoy the scenery of Mount Seorak 👍🏻 If you are free to travel from Seoul to Seoraksan day trip 😗 then you have to take a bus 🚌 about 2 and a half hours to Bundescao 🫶🏻 and then from Buncao change to bus No. 7 🚌 about half a middle to Seoraksan Mountain 🤣 is quite convenient for everyone 😎 Of course there are many day trips online for you to join It's not too late to plan!! ️‼ ️ #Korea Attractions #Summer Good Places #Summer Food Recommendations #Overseas Travel #Resident Writer #Parent-Child Good Places #I Miss #Outside Places #Friends Gatherings #Couples Good Places

It is a relatively flat, 1 hr-long course with many wooden decks that help to make it more accessible for the visitors. The entrance to the trail is the location of the Osaek Mineral Spring, whose natural carbonation and iron content impart a unique flavor in the water. Keep your eyes open for strange rock formations like Gorae, Sangtu, and Bubu Rocks, as well as Namseorak’s famous sights like Seonnyeotang Pothole, Geumgangmun Gate, and Yongso Falls. #celebratewithtrip #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #fallingforfall #mytripvlog #seoraksan #daecheongbongpeak #southkorea #enjoylifetothefullest #hikingtrails

Jungcheong Shelter is a shelter in South Korea. Jungcheong Shelter is situated nearby to Daecheongbong and Socheongbong. The path to Jungcheong Shelter in Seoraksan National Park. Save. Trails of Seoraksan National Park in Winter. Making the trip from Seoul was easy, though planning it was quite the trial. Hopping off an intercity bus and onto a shuttle to Baekdamsa (Baekdam temple), I found myself unable to stop smiling: the trees and the streams were swapping hues, the air crisp and intoxicating. Soon I found myself meandering around the temple grounds, joined by a sizable-but-not-overwhelming number of local tourists #celebratewithtrip #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #fallingforfall #mytripvlog #mountainview #southkorea

I started from Osaek to Daechung, then took this path down. Amazing view to the east and the west. Many rocky spots that go up and down. The weather gets unpredictable during the summer, and it changes overtime where you’re at in the route. Make sure to bring layers and rain coat. It was difficult at the end when it was raining. Don’t recommend when weather is not good. I want to revisit when it’s nice. Conditions: Rocky, Great! #celebratewithtrip #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #fallingforfall #mytripvlog #enjoylifetothefullest #mountainview #rockformation #southkorea #daecheongbongpeak #shelter #hiking

Most people who visit Seoraksan will stay in the nearby fishers town of Sokcho. It has a nice beach and relaxing atmosphere, and is just about interesting enough for a day out. Sokcho can be reached easily from Seoul, as buses go continuously from both Dong Seoul bus terminal and Express bus terminal, and it takes only a little over two hours if there is no traffic. I had just finished a Templestay before the weekend, and was itching to go out to Seoraksan straight after, instead of checking back into my hostel in Seoul. But after hiking up Mt Hallasan on Jeju island, I was well aware of the increasing crowds on the weekends and the alarming numbers of excited South Korean hikers. So I stayed in Seoul for a few nights instead, and caught a Sunday morning bus from Dong Seoul at 8.59 to Sokcho (the awkward time probably to differentiate it from the other 9am bus to Sokcho #celebratewithtrip #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #fallingforfall #mytripvlog #southkorea

As one of the Ten Sights of Seoraksan Mountain, the Cheonbuldong Valley is also called Seorakgol Valley, being a representative valley of the mountain. Along the valley covering about 7 km from Biseondae Rock to Daecheongbong Peak, visitors can enjoy the splendid scenery of various attractions including Waseondae Rock, Munjudam Pool, Ihodam Pool, Gwimyeonam Rock, Oryeon Falls, and Cheondang Falls. It has all magnifice Autumn Season #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #fallingforfall #seoraksan #mountainview #mytripvlog #enjoylifetothefullest #travelinspiration #southkorea #mountainview

#Ho-kangs #Inje Hotel #Inje #Inje Speedium #Inje Travel #Gangwon-do Travel #Pet-friendly Accommodation #Inje Accommodation Welcome! Is this your first time at a hotel with a view like this? I happened to find this hotel because it was so cost-effective while traveling to Inje 3 years ago on a map coloring course. The circuit with the same name, Inje Speedium, is so famous that it would be especially familiar to men who like driving. The circuit and various sports cars seen from the room catch your eye. It's not too far from the famous birch forest, so it's a place I'd like to recommend even more when the season comes! There's a hotel & resort of this scale in Inje. How about a ho-kangs here this winter? - - 📍Inje Speedium Hotel & Condo 1️⃣ Superior Room 2️⃣ Deluxe Room 🧭Inje-gun Girin-myeon Sanghadap-ro 130 ⏰️Check-in 15:00 Check-out 11:00 the next day 🚘Outdoor parking lot available, no indoor parking ℹ️10-20% discount on circuit experience for guests Breakfast available only on weekends/Lunch and dinner available every day
