Hallasan National Park @ Jeju 🇰🇷

#koreatrip Hiking Hallasan National Park in Jeju is an incredible experience, offering diverse trails that cater to different fitness levels. The Seongpanak Trail, one of the most popular routes, stretches 9.7 km and is relatively gentle, making it accessible for most hikers. Along the way, there are several rest areas and breathtaking views of Jeju Island from various platforms. Alternatively, the Yeongsil Trail is shorter at 5.8 km, featuring scenic ridges and waterfalls. Whichever trail you choose, the stunning natural beauty and well-maintained paths make Hallasan a must-visit for outdoor enthusiasts. Highly recommended not for the faint hearted! My rating: 4 ⭐️ out of 5!

Peak Adventures: Unwind and Conquer

#cherryblossom2024 The hike was truly remarkable, albeit somewhat taxing. I highly recommend embarking before 10 am to prevent the need for hurried ascent, as we experienced. The summit boasted awe-inspiring vistas, and it's advisable to pack some provisions to savor alongside the scenery. Consider reserving this itinerary for the final day of your journey, as it promises to be quite exhausting and necessitate ample recovery time.

Come to Jeju Island and climb a not high but absolutely scenic mountain

Taking advantage of the strong autumn colors, I recently took a friend who just came to Jeju Island to Songyue Mountain again. Rather than climbing the mountain, it's more accurate to say walking the mountain. Located in the west of Jeju Island, Songyue Mountain is a part of the occasional path. The entrance is a big slope directly to the mountainside, and what suddenly appears in front of you is the vast sea and the nearby Shanfang Mountain. This is an occasional road along the coastline with a very wide view. You can see Shanfang Mountain and Brother Island at the same time. When the weather is good, you can also overlook Hannashan Mountain. The first half of the Songyue Mountain hike is almost the grandeur of the invincible sea view, and the second half enters the pine forest style. There are purple flowers and honeysuckle that have not ended in summer on the side of the plank road. The white horses, sea women and anglers on the cliffs seen along the way must be the most authentic scenery of Jeju Island. The whole journey takes about 2 hours. Free and no tickets. After climbing the mountain, you can rest at the busy Starbucks at the foot of the mountain, and continue along the coastline, you can reach a very popular hot restaurant. See the restaurant introduction in yesterday's blog post.

Fancy a one-day hiking challenge? Try hiking Hallasan on Jeju Island.

So check it out before you start ascending. #mytripvlog

South Korean tallest mountain

This is for those who like adventure..😉 Few weeks ago, I had a chance to climb Hallasan in Jeju-do which is South Korea tallest mountain. There is two trail that will reach the summit and Baengnokdam Lake, which is Gwaneusma trail and Seongpanak trail. I am lucky to be able to experienced both trail. I went up from Gwaneusma (steep and hard according to local, but for me it was ok) and went down via Seongpanak (easy trail). Most local prefer the other way round and that makes the trail more crowded. That’s why i choose to hike from Gwaneusma and go down via Seongpanak. The whole hike takes about 7 hours. But it depends on one’s fitness. How to get there? I stayed in Seogwipo, so took bus no 281 to Jeju international university and then took bus no 475 to Gwaneusma head trail. Taxi are very expensive in Jeju. So the most affordable transportation is the bus. You can also take a taxi from Jeju international university to Gwaneusma head trail (KRW6500). For my next trip, i wish i can take my son to London to see Harry Potter film site #2023TravelWish #seogwipo #hallasan #jejuadventure #solobackpacker #SpooktacularTrip #fallingforfall

Jeju Island Scenery

As the largest island in South Korea, Jeju Island was originally an active volcanic island. Over hundreds of thousands of years, the accumulation of lava, erosion by seawater, and the movement of the earth's crust have created a diverse landscape on the island. Caves, mountains, waterfalls, scattered small islands, and over 2,000 species of plants and more than 4,000 species of animals living there, all can be found. Among them, the most famous landmark is Hallasan, which stands in the center of Jeju Island. About 300,000 years ago, the long-dormant volcano of Jeju Island erupted again, and the accumulated lava, weathered over time, formed Hallasan with an altitude of 1,950 meters. In Korean, Hallasan means "a mountain high enough to pull down the Milky Way." Although it may seem like self-praise to outsiders, considering it is the highest peak in South Korea, Hallasan truly lives up to its name. Jeju Island, with its subtropical oceanic climate, is warm and spring-like all year round, and Hallasan is picturesque in all four seasons, offering endless beauty. In early spring, the mountain top is covered with snow, the rapeseed flowers sway in the wind at the mountainside, and the cherry blossoms at the foot of the mountain are as numerous as stars; in midsummer, the deep valleys have rushing waterfalls, birds sing melodiously among the lush greenery, making it a perfect natural summer resort; in late autumn, red leaves cover the valleys, and deer leap across the ridges; in severe winter, heavy snow falls, white plum blossoms bloom on the mottled branches, and wild deer leisurely walk under the trees, making one feel as if they have entered a paradise.

Mt. Hallasan Jeju Island

If you love Hiking go to this mountain, it's breathtaking view and you can see around Jeju Island.

When in Jeju, don’t miss this Mountain

Hiking Mount Hallasan, South Korea’s highest mountain. We took the more scenic Yeongsil Trail (5.8km) which is at least a 2.5 hours hike up and another 2.5 hours down. While we went during summer, Hallasan is popular for its fall colours. So be sure to check it out if you’re heading to Jeju during autumn. At the base is a forest trail with a gradual ascent up until you reach Byeongpungbawi Rock. Here be careful of the rocks when you climb the wooden steps as there are only ropes for support on the side. It is relatively easier to walk as you reach the top with a flat boardwalk that leads you to Witse Oreum. Remember to bring a UV jacket and proper gear as it get cold even during summer. #gohiking

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!

Scenic hike in Hallasan on Yeongsil trail 2 x

This is a trip in mid March just last week. We arrived at the car park at the beginning of the Yeongsil trail at about 8.30am to a beautiful sight. Light snow is falling down sparsely. We were both exhilarated and stressed at the same time since we didn’t quite expect such weather in Spring. We quickly bought raincoats from the shop at the trail head, get assurance that spikes are not required and get on our way. The uphill trail started in the forest (though the trees were quite bald since winter is just over) before it opens up into an open air trail. When it opens up, the view is very beautiful. All the way, the trail is clear and well paved. We just had to keep climbing steps uphill. It was a steep ascent throughout. There were a few stretch where we had to hike on rocks. But they are manageable though my hiking stick definitely helped. Yeongsil trail does not lead you to the summit of Mt Hallasan. However it is renowned as the shortest yet the best one for its beautiful scenery among those of Hallasan Mountain. We took approximately 2 hour and 30 minutes to get to the end point which is a rest area and also a junction where you can decide on which route to go downhill. It was very cold at the rest point but there were a few shelters and we took our rest and snack there. We took the same way down as we were too lazy to arrange/get transport from a different end point back to our car. However, as weather changes were unpredictable in the mountains, the way down presented us with hiking in mist and much colder and stronger wind conditions which were surprising to us since that was near noon time. Going down was relatively easy in comparison. Think we took less than 2 hours. If you plan to do this hike and is arriving by car, please remember there are two carparks. The 2nd one is the one nearest to the trail head. The first one is 2.4 km away from the 2nd one. And if you arrived too late, and the 2nd car park is full, they will not let you in until the next car comes out. #Jeju #hallasan #yeongsiltrail #Hiking

My Solo Jeju Winter Hike and City Trip

The highligh of this trip was the winter hike in Mt Hallasan one that you can take even if you are hiking solo. The view is amazing, you may hate the hike but you will forget everything once you’re up there. I took the yeongsil-eorimok trail. Jeju is a safe island for female solo travellers. Highly recommended! Lots of cute cafes, you will never run out of caffeine fix, a heaven for coffee addict 😁 Even their convenience store got a lot of goodies to try. I stayed in 2 locations for my 6 days trip, first near the beach and 2nd was in the city area and it was a great decision. More time to explore the city by foot or by bus. They have very efficient transportation throughout the island although its less frequent when you are far out of the city but it is still manageable. For transportation you can use kakaotalk or just use google map, bus options will be listed there with bus frequency and timing. Hiking Mt Hallasan-You can take the bus but make sure to take the first trip as it is pretty crowded and you will be surprised that there’s a lot of hikers from young to old even in winter. Visiting lighthouses and beaches:do check the weather prior to going out as it can get really windy by the seaside. Bringing poncho is much better than umbrella. Popular places have long queues like london bagel museum so plan ahead. You dont wanna be stuck in one place for long hours and missed seing other places. Jeju is a place I would love to visit again and again. #winterhike #jeju #mthallasan #cutecafes #solotravel #lighthouse #southkorea #hiking #healing
