Overview of your Seoul tour
There are very popular mountains in South Korea, those are Mt. Seorak, Halla, Jiri and Bukhan. Among them, Mt. Seorak as national park is the most popular one which is located in the east coast from Seoul. The total area is 398, 539㎢ and Over 2, 000 animal species live in 1, 708 meters high mountain. There are many beautiful places near by the mountain, so we can visit Buddhist temple, beach, port and taste sea food if you like seafood. ♡ Cable car to the Geongeumseong fortress doesn't operate due to weather conditions or maintenance, sometimes. ♡ Shorter tour during wintertime. :)

Our day trip to Mt. Sorak National Park in Sokcho was fantastic with our guide, Kevin! Despite the slightly wet weather, Kevin has made it such a fun trip! Besides showing us your (Kevin) 3S: Smile = Happy together! Speed = Timely not fast! Sincerity = From the bottom of my heart! We also got to experience: Sing = you sang cheerfully! Satisfaction = accommodative! Synchronize = clicked instantly! We enjoyed our conversations during our journey as well as the "shopping secrets" you've shared too,
