Hallasan National Park

#koreatrip We took the easiest trail to just try it out and it was quite tough, admittedly, but we made it to the top! We were lucky the weather was really good in the morning and there was no one at the peak when we made it up. The view was nice and there was some areas with the pillars that provide a QR code for emergency calls in case you need help. Try going earlier in the morning to try and catch the nice view of the sun. It was slightly drizzling so we caught a mini rainbow! Admission is free and there is even a phototaking booth in the visitor's centre if you would like to take a photo for memories after your climb. Photo is 2,000 KRW per printed photo, and the instructions are all in Korean, Japanese, English and Chinese so there's no need to worry about not understanding how to use the booth. There are also some signages which introduce the names of the flora and fauna and if you're lucky you might catch a glimpse of the animals that live in the mountain. Unfortunately for us, that didn't happen but the view was so worth the climb up. It may be tedious for those who aren't able to climb too much stairs so maybe bring along a pair of walking/climbing sticks to help you get to the peak easily. Ground may be wet and muddy so be careful!
