Ulsanbawi Rock

#summervacay Ulsanbawi Rock is a striking granite formation located in Seoraksan National Park, near Sokcho in Gangwon Province, South Korea. Renowned for its six towering peaks and panoramic vistas, it stands as one of the park's most iconic landmarks. Geological Marvel: Rising 873 meters above sea level, Ulsanbawi features six sharp granite peaks that form a dramatic ridge. The rock's unique shape and steep cliffs are the result of differential erosion and weathering of Daebo granite, characteristic of Seoraksan's geology. Cultural Significance: The name "Ulsanbawi" is derived from a local legend. According to the tale, a massive rock from Ulsan attempted to join Mount Geumgang but was halted at Seoraksan, leading to its current position. This story underscores the deep cultural ties the region has with its natural landmarks. #naturalwonders #citydaytours #thingstodo
