Country SOUTH KOREA MOUNT SEORAK NATIONAL PARK (regional info) no direct reservations properties at this time check regional directory Seoraksan is the highest mountain in the Taebaek mountain range 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 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 Seokcho 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. read full wikipedia reference about Seorak National Park, Korea OTHER POPULAR DESTINATIONS IN SOUTH KOREAList all available cities in Korea Busan Cheju-do Daegu Daejeon Gangnam-gu Geumcheong-gu Gyeongju Incheon Jeju Seoraksan Seoul Ulsan |
