If you come to Sokcho, I highly recommend a Seoraksan hiking trip and visit Ulsanbawi to see the solemn scenery! 🪨 Ulsanbawi: 1140-115 Seoraksan-ro, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do 💚 Please note that you can take some really great pictures during sunset! #Sokcho #SokchoTravel #HikingTrip

#hikingtrails #100waysoftravel It is autumn season and there are many great spots to view the autumn foliages, especially mountain areas. As such, I went to Seoraksan mountain area to hike the Ulsanbawi trail, which is one of the most challenging trail there. It comprises six granite peaks making up the spectacular view on top. You start your journey at Sinheungsa temple, and you hike along the forest trail with very nice maple leaves, and the challenging part arrives where there is a series of stairway to hike the rocky cliffs, and towards the end you need to use the rope to hike the rocks to reach the top. Finally there will be only stairs and platform for you to walk and the view is stunningly beautiful with the foliages at the background, which worth the strenuous hike.

Seoraksan Mountain, where snow still remains even in early April If you climb along the cool valley in Seoraksan National Park for about an hour, you will come across Heungdeulbawi Rock. It shakes like a grasshopper but does not fall. It is a strange harmony with the floor engraved with Chinese characters. If you climb further past Heungdeulbawi Rock, you can climb to Ulsanbawi Rock. If you climb the Ulsanbawi cliff stairs, you will be mesmerized by the magnificent scenery. Seoraksan National Park: Free. Parking fee: 6,000 won. Bus departs every 20-30 minutes. #Seoraksan #SokchoTravel #Heungdeulbawi Rock #Ulsanbawi Rock #Cable Car #DomesticTravel

It's completely different from the old Daemyung Condo. It's like a luxury hotel. Ulsanbawi is always nice and Sokcho's restaurants are always delicious. Sokcho is great in the fall.

This is ‘Cafe Gwit’ located in Sokcho. The high-ceilinged building reminiscent of an art gallery and the well-decorated garden are very beautiful. The biggest pride of this place is that you can view the magnificent Ulsanbawi Rock from anywhere inside or outside. If you are visiting Sokcho, it would be a good idea to stop by. #SokchoCafe #CafeGwit #UlsanbawiView
