BEAUTIFUL Seoraksan National Park, KOREA (WeWillNomad)
The Seoraksan National Park is both immense in its beauty and size! With a reserve area of 163.6 square kilometres, it was the first Korean national park to be named under the National Park Law in 1970.
There are numerous trails and paths throughout the park of varying distance and difficulty, so you will definitely find something suitable to enjoy. If you are not up for hiking, you can walk around the lower park area to see the enormous Bronze Statue of Seated Buddha and the Sinheungsa Temple or even just relax with a meal, snack or drink at one the restaurants. You can also take the Seoraksan Cable Car up to Gwongeumseong Fortress Station, but note that from there you still need to climb a fair number of stairs to the actual Fortress.
Depending on the time of year and weather conditions, certain areas and trails may be off-limits to the public, so check the online information before you go. If you really want to make the most of this area, you can easily spend multiple days hiking!
We started by taking the Cable Car up to Gwongeumseong Fortress. The ride itself is very quick and not very exciting. From the top station, you follow a stepped path up to the actual Fortress which is really not much more than a few stacked rocks, so don't have high expectations of that. The view however from this area is absolutely stunning! You can walk around quite freely on the large rocks and look out at the sea to the one side and towards Ulsanbawi Rock on the other side. One can easily while away more time than expected in this small area!
From the top station, there is another path leading downwards towards Anlakam Hermitage. Although it is not far, we really didn't find it worthwhile and would recommend spending your time elsewhere in the park.
After returning by Cable Car (there is no alternative way down!), we set off along the Biseondae Hiking Route. The route is only 3km long and they suggest that it will take just under 1 hour. NOTE that all route designations are ONE WAY and you will still need to return! The route was a fairly comfortable and easy hike and mostly shaded by large trees. As the route winds alongside a rocky river, there are a few places where you can make your way into the river to cool down in the crystal clear rock pools or picnic on a big rock as we managed to do. Once you reach the small suspension bridge at the very impressive Biseondae Rock, you will have the choice of either returning of continuing for a further 600m (estimated additional 1-hour hike one way) up continuous and strenuous steps to the Geumgangguk Grotto.
It was getting late so we did not continue but rather chose to watch a few crazy climbers scaling vertical rock faces and then we made our way back to lower ground to visit the Bronze Statue of Seated Buddha and Sinheungsa Temple before catching a bus back to Sokcho.

영상앨범 산, 설악산 2부 Seorak Mountain in South Korea (1/2)
Seoraksan is the highest mountain in the Taebaek mountain range (태백산맥) in the Gangwon Province in eastern South Korea. It is located in a national park near the city of Sokcho. After the Hallasan volcano on Jeju Island and Jirisan in the south, Seoraksan is the third highest mountain in South Korea. The Daechongbong Peak (대청봉) of Seoraksan reaches 1,708 metres (5,603 feet). The Taebaek mountain chain is often considered the backbone of the Korean peninsula.
The national park attracts many national and international tourists all year round, but the main season for Seoraksan national park is autumn. The autumn colours in the area are considered amongst the most beautiful in Korea. The red and yellow forest is interrupted by rocks and small mountain streams flow amidst this. During the rainy season in summer—especially after a typhoon—these streams can swell.
Perhaps the most visited part of the mountain is the main entrance valley to the National Park, a fifteen-minute drive from Sokcho city. The valley runs west to east with a paved road leading up to the park's entrance gate. This valley contains many beautiful sites and is well worth a day visit.
The Yukdam waterfall and the Biryeong waterfall (비룡폭포) are located on the left side of the valley, about a forty-minute walk from the main car park. Ulsanbawi (울산바위) is a rock formation in the Seoraksan national park. The shape of Ulsanbawi is unique in the area. To reach the rocks you need to follow a hiking path and climb over 800 steps (it is actually 888 steps according to locals). On the way there, there are two temples and a spherical rock (Heundeulbawi, 흔들바위) which is located on top of a larger rock. This rock is about 5 metres (16 feet) high and can be moved with some effort. Thousands of people have already tried to push down Heundeulbawi, but nobody gets further than waggling the rock.
According to the legend Ulsanbawi comes from the city of Ulsan in the south east of Korea. As Kumgangsan (금강산) was built, Ulsanbawi walked to the north as the representative of the city. Unfortunately Ulsanbawi arrived too late and there was no more room. Ulsanbawi was ashamed and slowly trudged back to the south. One evening the rock went to sleep in the Seorak area. Ulsanbawi felt it was so beautiful around there that it decided to stay for good.
At the end of the main valley is Biseondae, a rock platform in a stream. Above the stream is a difficult to reach cave, which offers clear views of the surrounding rock formations.
A bit farther from the entrance is the Valley of a Thousand Buddhas (천불동계곡), the primary valley of Seorak Mountain, also sometimes referred to as Seorak Valley. The valley was so named because the rock formations that line its sides resemble a line-up of Buddha statues.

Seoraksan is the highest mountain in the Taebaek mountain range in the Gangwon Province in eastern South Korea.[1] It is located in a national park near the city of Sokcho. After the Hallasan volcano on Jeju Island and Jirisan in the south, Seoraksan is the third highest mountain in South Korea. The Daechongbong Peak (대청봉) of Seoraksan reaches 1,708 meters (5,603 feet). The mountain is sometimes considered the backbone of South Korea.[2]
The area belonging to Inje-gun in the northwest and Daecheongbong Peak is called Naeseolak,
Naeseorak features various valley views including Baekdam Valley, Gaya-dong Valley, Gugokdam Valley, Gugokdam Valley, 12 Seonnyeondang, Daeseung Falls and Yongajangseong Fortress. In addition to Cheonbul-dong Valley, it is easy to access Ulsan Rock, Gwongeumseong Fortress, Geumgang Cave, Biryong Falls, and Toseong Falls.[3]
Oaeseorak is the area belonging to Sokcho City towards the east. It features easier hiking courses and is one of the most accessed areas of the park. [3]
It was designated as Natural Monument No.171 in 1965, and as a national park on Mount Seorak on March 24, 1970.[4] In August 1982, UNESCO designated the area as a biosphere reserve.[5][6][7]
Depending on the climate and characteristics, the mountain's biologic features have different ecosystems. While the inland climate is composed of gentle slopes and thick layers of soil, the forest is abundant and animal form is abundant, the outcropping is a marine climate, which causes the ground to steep and frequent visitors, which is less formal. Rare plants and animals live in the wild, including natural monuments such as mountain goats and semi-moon chest bears.
The biosphere of the Mt. Seolak is composed of different ecosystems according to climate and characteristics. It is an inland climate with gentle slopes and thick soil layers that are rich in forests and rich in animal habitats, while oyster shells have a marine climate with steep slopes and few visitors. It is home to rare animals and plants, including natural monuments such as goats and bears.
The Yukdam waterfall and the Biryeong waterfall (비룡폭포) are located on the left side of the valley, about a forty-minute walk from the main car park. Ulsanbawi (울산바위) is a rock formation in the Seoraksan national park.[8] The shape of Ulsanbawi is unique in the area. To reach the rocks you need to follow a hiking path and climb over 800 steps (it is actually 888 steps according to locals). On the way there, there are two temples and a spherical rock (Heundeulbawi, 흔들바위) which is located on top of a larger rock.[9] This rock is about 5 meters (16 feet) high and can be moved with some effort. Thousands of people have already tried to push down Heundeulbawi, but nobody gets further than waggling the rock.
According to the legend Ulsanbawi comes from the city of Ulsan in the south east of Korea. As Kumgangsan (금강산) was built, Ulsanbawi walked to the north as the representative of the city. Unfortunately Ulsanbawi arrived too late and there was no more room. Ulsanbawi was ashamed and slowly trudged back to the south. One evening the rock went to sleep in the Seorak area. Ulsanbawi felt it was so beautiful around there that it decided to stay for good.[10]
At the end of the main valley is Biseondae, a rock platform in a stream. Above the stream is a difficult to reach cave, which offers clear views of the surrounding rock formations.
A bit farther from the entrance is the Valley of a Thousand Buddhas (천불동계곡), the primary valley of Seorak Mountain, also sometimes referred to as Seorak Valley. The valley was so named because the rock formations that line its sides resemble a line-up of Buddha statues.
The Dinosaur Ridge (공룡능선) is the ridge in Seoraksan that extends from Mardeungyeong to Sinam. [11] It is one of Korea's cultural scenic treasures, being designated as the 103rd treasure in 2013.[12] It earns it name due to the mountain peaks in the ridge looking like the back of a spiked dinosaur.[13] The course is very strenuous, with steep peaks that require a 16+ hour hike to go through the course.[14] It is listed among the most difficult mountain courses to climb in Korea.[15] Due to this, accidents due to exhaustion are very common, especially in winter.[16] One incident in December 1993 left 2 university students dead due to them losing their way at night and experiencing hypothermia.[17]
