#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.

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.

#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.

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

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

Comment from Michaela One of the extraordinary place which I've ever seen, is definitely Seoraksan. First, I went hiking to the waterfalls and after that I decided to hike to the opposite side. Even though stairs up was horrible, the view on the top was worth it. from kong Such a beautiful national park, so many trails for hikers, cable car for family time. So beautiful now in May. So vividly green, such special place. Seoraksan National park was designated the 5th national park in Korea in 1970 and chosen as a nature preservation area on November 5, 1965 Also, internationally recognized for its rare species, Seoraksan is the area in Korea to have been designated as a Biosphere Preservation District by UNESCO in 1982, and in IUCN recognized its rich natural resources and labeled it category Ⅱ(National Park). #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #fallingforfall #mytripvlog #southkorea

Getting to Seoraksan National Park from Seoul Go to Dong Seoul Bus Terminal (Gangbyeon ... There's a path here somewhere – Dinosaur Ridge Gongnyong Ridge is a mountain ridge in Seoraksan National Park, located in Gangwon Province, South Korea. It is the central ridge of Seoraksan, dividing it. The ridge earns its name due to the mountain peaks in the ridge looking as "vigorous and dynamic as a dinosaur rising from the ground" For the first 1 hour to 45 minutes the hike is very flat and cuts through temples and monuments along the flowing stream, #tripblazers #bucketlistreboot #mytripvlog #tripdotcom #mountain #hiking #southkorea Hiking Dinosaur Ridge, Seoraksan National Park - Seoul Hiking Group - Live, Travel, Teach. Walking through Seorkasan's midnight forest we glanced skyward

The land of South Korea is blessed with many hills and mountains, as such one of the country's main sports is hiking. Mount Seorak is located at the east of South Korea, Gangwon-do. It is also the highest mountain in the Taebaek mountain range. The mountain is also located in a national park in the city of Sokcho. There is a cable car for those non hikers to enjoy a panoramic view of the mountain, but there are also some course and terrains for those who would like to hike up the range like Ulsanbawi, Heundeulbawi etc. This location is also a good place to view autumn foliage during the early period as leaves tend to change colour from the peak to the bottom. #southkorea#seoraksan

#Hiking Seoraksan is famous for its steep slopes, so many people are afraid. Among them, I went on the Heundeulbawi and Ulsanbawi courses, which are known as the easiest courses. I was able to go up to Heundeulbawi with ease, but it was difficult to get to Ulsanbawi because there were many steep stairs. However, when I climbed to the top and saw this view, all the difficulty was forgotten. #TheBest #Seoraksan #SeoraksanHiking #Ulsanbawi #Heundeulbawi #SeoraksanHikingCourse

📍Gangwon Inje-gun Inje-eup Inje-ro 168beon-gil 48-4 This is a famous restaurant in Inje that I stopped by on my way from Seoul to Sokcho! I visited this place after seeing that it was famous among locals, and I was really excited because the exterior gave off a local restaurant vibe. This is a place that sells famous Makguksu, Memil Kalguksu, and Memil Mandu Guk in Gangwon-do, and the prices are really cheap and delicious, so it’s been featured on TV. I ordered Ongsimi Memil Kalguksu, Bibim Makguksu, and Jeonbyeong, and they weren’t too spicy and were really delicious. If you’re traveling to Inje or passing through Inje on your way to Sokcho/Gangneung like me, this is a restaurant I definitely recommend. It was a cozy, home-cooked, local restaurant that I’ll think of again!😃 #InjeTravel #YearEndTravel #RestaurantExploration #InjeRestaurant #MakguksuRestaurant #SoloTravel

#springwander Last weekend, I visited the Inje Flower Festival in Gangwon-do, and it was truly a wonderful experience. As soon as I arrived, I was greeted by a breathtaking sea of colorful flowers in full bloom. The festival grounds were beautifully arranged with various floral displays, creating a perfect spot for photos. One of the highlights was the walking trail lined with vibrant tulips and cherry blossoms. The air was filled with the sweet scent of flowers, making the entire experience even more refreshing. There were also local food stalls offering delicious snacks, and I enjoyed some traditional Korean treats while admiring the scenery. 💞Reasons to Recommend:The festival had a lively and welcoming atmosphere, with music performances and interactive activities for visitors of all ages.

#WinterTravel Don't be too sad that there's no news of snow in Gangwon-do, there's a lot of snow here! I was worried because there hadn't been any snow in Gangwon-do for a while, but I set off with a smile, but there was a lot of snow on the way up, and then there was even more white snow in the main photo zone, Byeolbaragi Forest, so I let out a happy cheer. I visited the birch forest again in winter after 5 years, and I think I got to Byeolbaragi Forest faster than I thought before.. This time, it took longer than I thought..? Is it because I'm old..? 🥺 If you take pictures and do this and that, it will take about 1-2 hours round trip, so it's good to take your time, and the uphill slope isn't too steep, but there are icy roads here and there because the accumulated snow melts and freezes repeatedly, so you must wear crampons! If you park in the birch forest parking lot, you will receive a 5,000 won gift certificate, which you can use to buy crampons at the entrance shop, so please keep that in mind. (If you have crampons that you used before, you can use them to buy other ones!) On the way down, the staff told me to come back again because the birch forest in other seasons is so pretty, and the winter birch forest was so beautiful that I wanted to visit it in other seasons too. It was the Whispering Birch Forest in Inje! ❄️Whispering Birch Forest 📍Gangwon Inje-gun Birch Forest Road 760 🕰️09:00-14:00 (Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays) 🚘Parking lot O ✔️Pay 5,000 won in advance upon entry, and receive a 5,000 won local love gift certificate
