The 24 best parks and gardens in Sokcho

Very nice beach to visit, clean and white sand, strong wind even in the summer. A day from Seoul is not enough since it takes 2 and half hours, recommend 2 days to discover the night time of Sokcho City.

Good to stop by and take a stroll from Lotte resort Sokcho. There are some places to stroll with the ocean view, such as “외옹치바다향기로” (Oeongchi Bada Hyangiro Trail, address : 43 Yeonggeumjeong-ro, Dongmyeong-dong, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea), and “영금정” (Yeonggeumjeong Sunrise Pavilion, address : 43 Yeonggeumjeong-ro, Dongmyeong-dong, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea)

Beautiful scenery. In the summertime it's really busy. Fireworks (but security limits them), night market food stalls, carnival games, and lots of photo ops. Daytime it's packed with families and night time you're not allowed in the water but it's bustling with people out for an evening stroll. Worth visiting in the summertime for day time and night time experiences. They gave public washrooms (really clean), and air or water pumps to clean your shoes or feet once you're out of the sand. Safe, kid friendly, and lots to do/see here.

Beautiful beach facing the East Sea! They decorated the pier with colorful lights at night and painted it with fish and crabs. It has fine white sand and close to hotels and restaurants. Don't miss out walking at night or riding the ferris wheel. Also try to wake up early and head over here to watch the sunrise.

Clean sandy beach, with life guards present. Some parts where they don't allow you to swim. However, even on a busy day, i found enough space to swim

I am Caribbean, so very few beaches impress me. The water is not blue but it was iced cold, the sand was like sandpaper (wear sandals ) there are a few areas that are picture worth, plenty of street food, and available parking (we visited during the week days) i liked that it wasn't trashed.

Nice sandy beach with many sightseeing opportunities. Try the sokcho eye for a great view!

Great place to have a wander. A fantastic display of fish, shellfish and crabs. Lots of lovely seafood restaurants around the market to have lunch or dinner. The people working in the market are very friendly and welcoming 🙂

Great fish and seafood! Also all the market staff was super friendly and chatty which was really nice. No options for vegans and vegetarians

Walked the market selling street food. Plenty of choices and i tried their cake (white color) which is tasty. Bought their teokkboki, it was a bit spicy and less chewy compared to what i have tasted before. Headed to the basement for seafood - bought snow crab at stall 153 and had them cooked for me. Its 29k won per kg and additional 10k won charge for cooking. The crab meat was sweet and the owner was friendly. The fried rice was the bomb - the best i have tasted.

A nice market to visit in Sokcho. Good number of shops around. We tried some local specialties here which were nice. We visited on a weekend so it was crowded

It had been a long time since I visited a traditional market in Korea, especially in this charming seaside town. The market was brimming with life—tanks filled with all kinds of fish, still swimming and waiting to be sold. Stalls offered a vibrant array of fermented and marinated side dishes, perfect companions for steamed rice. There were also colorful rice cakes, crispy seafood tempuras, fresh fruits, and snacks of every variety. It felt like a feast for the senses, with every corner offering something new to discover. For lunch, we couldn’t resist the allure of a grilled seafood restaurant. The freshness of the catch, combined with the rich flavors of the grill, made for an unforgettable meal. Traditional markets like these are more than just places to shop—they’re a window into the heart of local culture. The variety and freshness of the food, the lively atmosphere, and the friendly banter of the vendors all contribute to an experience that’s as rich and fulfilling as the food itself. It’s a reminder of the importance of preserving these spaces, where tradition and community come together so beautifully.

The market is pretty big but you’ll notice only a few vendors are really busy. Definitely try the seafood vendors they’re really good and you can watch them cook in front of you. What I thought was weird is we went to one place and wanted something and they said it was sold out even though it was on display, and they said everything on display is actually fake. Crazy huh!

Love the market. Plenty of fresh or dried seafood. They also sell cookies and cakes which you can bought as souvenir. Plenty of stalls selling deep fried prawn, cuttlefish, hotteok, twist doughnuts - to name a few. Will definitely come again.

Perfect for the night sightseeing in sokcho❤️. You can also find different restaurants with great options around the area

If you're in Sokcho you should visit this place; it offers a nice view of the surroundings for only 2,500 won entrance. Unfortunately you can't buy any drinks or food for now. The park near the tower is great for slow walks and relaxation.

It's quite worth to have a short stay here. We came here for the night view, but the time a bit early, so we also have some wall and rest at the park down the tower. The view of morning and night of the tower are different. So after became dark, we bought tickets and go up to see sokcho night view. It's very quiet when we there so we able took a lot of photos at upstairs and there's not so many people. After see the night view, we came down again for it's night time colored tower.

It’s a beautiful 15 floor tower. The entrance is 2500 won. You can have a great view of the whole city. There is a caffe on top of it.

Tower in Sokcho, you can buy a ticket, take an elevator and enjoy the view on Sokcho. However, I think the view from bridge is better since you can see Seoraksan mountains.

Amazing view, it's a cheap entry ticket you can observe the river and the mountains and drink coffee at the coffee shop! Definitely a must go when you visit sokcho!

The entrance fee to the tower was 2500 won! The view was good! I think it was expensive somehow😆

Pavilion located by the sea. It’s so lovely! Quiet, not crowded, nice views! I enjoyed the visit. The bottom pavilion was sadly closed for maintenance, I think from March to July this year. I was surprised as I didn’t see it online but do check! Still worth a visit as the top pavilion is accessible (where I managed to have some really good views)! It’s not crowded so the small pavilion manages to fit all the groups here. Some nice locals moved over to the sides once they were done with photos, so we could have a nice photo spot~

I had the opportunity to visit Yeonggeumjeong Pavilion during winter season, when the temperature was below zero. It’s an incredibly beautiful spot, especially for watching the sunrise early in the morning. 🌅 The atmosphere was peaceful with a refreshing breeze, though it was so cold that my hands went numb. 🥶🥶 The area was clean, and traveling there was very convenient, which made the whole experience truly memorable. ❤️

Yeonggeumjeong Sunrise Pavilion is a beautiful seaside spot in Sokcho, perfect for enjoying the ocean breeze and stunning sunrise views. Perched on the coastline, the pavilion offers a peaceful atmosphere with the soothing sound of waves crashing against the rocks. The pavilion itself has a traditional Korean architectural style, adding to its charm. A short walk along the bridge leading to the pavilion makes the experience even more enjoyable, especially in the early morning when the sky changes colors with the rising sun. It’s an easily accessible spot near Sokcho Harbor, making it a nice addition to any Sokcho itinerary. While it’s not a large attraction, it’s a great place to relax, take photos, and appreciate the natural beauty of the East Sea. Overall, Yeonggeumjeong Sunrise Pavilion is a must-visit for early risers and those looking for a peaceful scenic stop in Sokcho.

Luckily, we went here during autumn. And it was not hot. Just bear in mind to bring your sunglasses. This place is clean and not many people went here during that time. Really nice view from the pavilion. I saw many stalls and shops selling food, but I did not have enough time to try any food here. Maybe I need to come back here again and spend my time walking on the street and buy food.

Place to see sun rise...very simple but beautiful ocean view. Spend 10-15 minutes- took few photos and left.

This is one of my favorite places in sokcho so far. Beautiful panoramic views of the sea beach and the place has an aesthetic touch to it. Very calm and full of solitude vibes. If you want to spend some lonely time or if you want to come with your lover, in both ways you will be satisfied! No entrance fee

For me, it was probably the best place in the Korea. It can't be described, you have to go there and feel it for yourself

Has nice trail and interestingly they have a floating bridge where you can cross over the lake...Great experience.

I went there for the sunset and it was a beautiful view and an easy hike, but I'm not sure it would've been worth it had I not been in the area already. If you can stop by, that's wonderful, but if you're not already near, you won't miss much by skipping it.

Really beautiful if you cross it when the sun is just about to go down. Around 1700!

Highly recommend crossing the bridge at sunset🌄

It’s very beautiful! I really enjoyed taking a stroll there.

A place serving unique flavors for gelato, most of them local specials! They even serve a tiny sample spoon with a flavor you didn’t order! Nice service! I ordered potato and mugwort flavors. Both were really good and interesting! Potato really had a unique texture like grainy mashed potatoes. But it didn’t taste odd at all! Mugwort was surprisingly really fragrant! I thought it would be grassy or weird but no I really enjoyed it! I enjoyed this over potato. Highly recommend to drop by and try their special flavors :)

Great gelato! The signature potato ice cream is amazing! I also recommend the blueberry flavour as well!

The flavors here taste exactly like the ingredients, so good!!!

The potato tasted like mashed potatoes. I don't know what i expected. Anyway it was great?? The kiwi was excellent from the texture to the sweetness level, and the ground pepper on the potato scoop was an unexpected and perfect addition.

Place with fun and taste. Can call it a Korean gelato shop with variation of local food or grains. Unfortunately no space for parking but you can shortly park in front of a shop.Potato gelato is the signature and just taste like a cold mashed potato? However worth trying it.

Amazing blueberry gelato, full of fruit. The best ice cream we've ever eaten. Don't miss this place if you're in Sokcho. It's a short walk south of the bus terminal.

The gelato is fresh and delicious! The owner is super nice, i totally recommend this gelato. By far my favorite in Korea.

I happened to park the car right across this restaurant without knowing this is popular. Cold raw fish soup was fresh and cool. It was very crowded even though it was not busy hour. Across the street, by the parking lot, there are pine trees followed by the beach. After meal, coffee or tea on your hand, stroll on the beach or seat under the trees looking at the horizon. It makes you realized that you are in east coast finally.

Nice n clear beach....

When you heard about Mulhoe, visit this place to try some, 1 portion of Jar mulhoe costs 16,000KRW. Bit spicy since the sauce is based on chilli paste. Parking available on site.

Such a fresh and tasty mulhoe. It is best place. But if you go there on weekend, then you should wait at least 40mins. So recommend visiting on weekday.

Will be move to huge n new building near Sokcho-eye. Nice food.

It used to be good. Don't know why but the quantity was very poor not to speak of the quality.

Hmm I think this place is so so. The price is high though, quality is normal.

We got to Sokcho and were so excited for all the great seafood we read about prior to us coming. We found this restaurant as it served fresh crab and we were craving it. It wasn’t our first choice but it was open so we decided to check it out. We ordered 1 Hong crab (홍게) and 1 big crab (대게). The place was not busy which was good because there was plenty of space. There were rows of live crabs in tanks at the entrance. We were seated upstairs and got the side dishes. So hungry. The hong crab came out alone and we were told that the big crab would come out later. After 20 min... the other crab came out. There was very little meat on the Hong crab and not much more in the “big” crab. We expected the ramen to be packed full of seafood flavor but Were disappointed when the ramen tasted like shin ramen with a few pieces of crab added. The rice scramble in the crab shell was sadly mediocre and lacked flavor. Overall were were disappointed with the food. To top it off the bill came out to 145,000 Won which was definitely overpriced for the quality of the food we ate. I would not recommend coming here if you’re looking for fresh crab in Sokcho.

We went there for dinner and the man at the door insisted on telling us that “one crab is 140000” several times for some reason We were seated upstairs which looked ok and wasn’t very crowded. The food was average at best the snow crab we ordered was okay. The ramen was tasteless only interesting thing we were served was the rice and even that was again average.

If u google Crab restaurant, this restaurant will be shown mostly. It is famous for tourist but i think some reason for the fame is viral marketing. Food is good and crab is fresh of course. But it is not special than any other restaurant. U can enjoy food and sea view ar here.

Needs a urinal for optimum peeing efficiency. But great toilet. Otherwise the Crab was great. Got to see some clawy boys.

Good taste and services.

(Translated by Google) If you want to enjoy the taste of crab with a beautiful view, then you should definitely visit this restaurant. For only 110,000 won for two, you can try crab and rice. (Original) Если вы хотите насладиться вкусом краба с прекрасным видом, то вам точно стоит заглянуть в этот ресторанчик. Всего за 110 000 вон на двоих вы сможете попробовать краба и рис.

Best views & super clean. With a burger place on the 4th floor and a cafe on the 1st, it's the perfect place to relax for a weekend. Minus 1 star because there were no water bottles in our room.

Stellar experience in a magnificent, comfortable room with a breath-taking view of the sea and sunrise. There are many places to stay and have a nice time, but only one place that I've ever stay that was as wonderful as Aplace.

Coffee, location, view, quiet..All great. Price a little high. 6000kw for an espresso!!?!! Get serious.

I just went to the Hamburger place they have on the Rooftop (Burger Place), the Hamburger quality is outstanding and worth a visit for sure.

Nice coffee, not too crowded, clean, great view. Recommended!

Best Panini Sandwich and Minestrone Soup!

great view with cozy interior

Bad service. The barista was annoying, making us uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the coffee was also bad—maybe they’re using old coffee bean or sth

Great coffee, great cake, friendly people. Order downstairs and then choose one of 3 levels for sitting with a cool view over the harbor and the cable ferry (500 Won one way). Keep the receipt. It holds the codes for the strong free Wi-Fi and the doorcode for the restrooms (slide up the cover at the doorhandle for the keys).

(Translated by Google) I would like to recommend it for the view that is better than the coffee. First of all, it is close to the central market and Abai village can also be reached by boat. Parking is not possible due to the location. The view from the 3rd floor is great, so be sure to go up. (Original) 커피 보다도 좋은 뷰로 추천하고 싶습니다. 우선 중앙시장과 가깝고 아바이 마을도 갯배로 이동이 가능합니다. 위치상 주차가 불가능합니다. 3층 전망이 좋으니 꼭 올라가 보세요.

Awesome view

Seolak Bridge

(Translated by Google) In Sokcho, there are two large bridges that connect from E-Mart across Cheongho-dong to Jungang Market. The bridge in the south is Seorak Bridge, and the bridge in the north is Geumgang Bridge. I think it's called Geumgang River because it's a little further north. After crossing Seorak Bridge, you will come across a side road leading to Abai Village in Cheongho-dong. Old photos of Sokcho are displayed under the bridge. You can also take the Cheongho-dong Gaetbae towards Jungang Market. (Original) 속초에는 이마트 방향에서 청호동을 건너 중앙시장 방향으로 이어주는 두 개의 큰 다리가 있습니다. 남쪽에 있는 다리는 설악대교, 북쪽에 있는 다리는 금강대교입니다. 아무래도 조금 더 북쪽에 있어서 금강이라 부르는 것 같습니다. 설악대교를 넘게 되면 청호동 아바이 마을로 이어지는 샛길이 나옵니다. 다리 아래는 옛 속초 사진이 전시되어 있습니다. 청호동 갯배를 타고 중앙시장 방향으로 넘어갈 수도 있습니다.

As a coffee lover exploring Sokcho, I came across this café through a local review site. It’s tucked away on a local food street, conveniently near a public parking lot. The real highlight here is the stunning ocean view from the spacious seating areas on the 3rd and 4th floors—absolutely worth a visit if you’re in the area. While the coffee and overall experience are fairly average, the view alone makes it a nice spot to relax for a while. Not necessarily a destination café, but a pleasant stop if you’re nearby.

(Translated by Google) Dongmyeong Port, Sokcho Sea and Yeonggeumjeong at a glance This is a cafe with a great view. I parked my car at the public parking lot in front of Sokcho Lighthouse, a little above the cafe. The cafe is on the 3rd and 4th floors of the Daesun Raw Fish Restaurant building, and you can take the elevator up. Fighting for a window seat to enjoy the sea view, When the window seat is empty, the customers sitting inside I often move to my seat right away. I also enjoyed the drinks.

(Translated by Google) It's such a beautiful sea. It's a place you must visit at least once. It's such a great place. (Original) 너무 아름다운 바다입니다 꼭 한번 와봐야 할 곳입니다 너무너무 좋은장소입니다

(Translated by Google) It is a place that shows the beauty of the sea and can be found by walking south from Sokcho Beach. It is Haeparang Road (with the scent of the sea), and at the end of the road is Oeongchi Port, which is lined with raw fish restaurants. The peninsula visible to the south is Naksan. Next is Hajodae (formerly the 38th line), and the peninsula visible in the distance is near Jumunjin. (Original) 바다의 아름다움을 보여주는 곳으로 속초 해수욕장에서 남쪽으로 걸으시면 만날 수 있는 곳 입니다. 해파랑 길(바다의 향기로) 이며 그길 끝에는 횟집들이 즐비한 외옹치 항이 있어요. 남쪽으로 가까이 보이는 반도가 낙산이구요. 그 다음이 하조대(구.38선)이며 그 멀리 보이는 반도가 주문진 부근이랍니다.

Very friendly owner and fair price for snow crab. We got a 1.5 kg crab for two people at 60,000 KRW per kilo, and it was huge! The meat was sweet, savory, and really fresh. Lots of tasty banchan were included, and you can also order fried rice with the crab head. Even though English wasn’t easy for them, the service was kind and welcoming. We waited about 40 minutes since the place was full, but it was totally worth it, the crab was amazing.

(Translated by Google) This is the first restaurant in Sokcho where I was quite satisfied with my snow crab~~ The price is pretty reasonable for my standards. The level of packaging at the fish market and steaming at Chojang restaurant~~ From now on, I plan to only go to this place in Sokcho :) (Original) 속초에서 대게먹고 꽤 만족한집은 여기가 첨이예요~~ 가격도 제기준엔 꽤 합리적이예요 수산시장에서 포장해서 초장집에서 쪄먹는 수준~~ 앞으로 속초에서 대게는 이집만 가려고요 :)

(Translated by Google) I gave him 120,000 won. I was so shocked when I opened the package that I took a picture. I didn't even eat any kimchi. Does this make sense? Traditional markets have to be cheaper and better for people to go to them, but if this is the case, business will not be possible. Don't ever go there. (Original) 12만원 줬습니다. 포장뜯고 너무 어이가 없어서 사진찍어뒀네요. 김치하나도 안들었구요. 이게 말이 됩니까? 전통시장이 더 싸고 좋아야 사람들이 가죠 이러니 장사가 안되는겁니다. 절대 가지마세요.

(Translated by Google) Usually 70,000 won per kilo. Crab and ramen are delicious (Original) 대게 키로당 7만원. 게랑 라면 맛있음

(Translated by Google) Fresh snow crab meat~., fried rice, and of course, squishy snow crab ramen! Pancakes, bellflower salad seasoned with yuzu, and steamed stingray... this is the best restaurant without any reproach!!!

(Translated by Google) The snow crab is not salty and has a lot of meat, so it's very delicious. It was so delicious that I ordered more to be delivered to my house. (Original) 대게가 짜지도 않고 살도 많아 아주 맛있어요..맛나서 집으로 택배 주문 더 했네요

(Translated by Google) It's usually delicious here. It was a nice house with a reasonable price and well-cooked meals. (Original) 여기는 대게 맛있음. 가격대가 적당하고 한상 차림이 잘 나와서 좋았던 집 입니다.

(Translated by Google) It is a large lake located in the center of Sokcho. (Original) 속초중심에 위치한 큰 규모의 호수입니다.

We really enjoyed walking this lake, both during the morning and late evening. It will take about 2.5 - 3 hours to walk the full perimeter. The south side of the lake has very good late evening lighting. It was safe to walk during the evening. We were traveling here for only one full day and the lake felt like the soul of this small port city. Very peaceful, serene and a relaxing break away from the busy Seoul life.

(Translated by Google) Compared to Yeongnang Lake, the walking trail is a bit weaker. However, convenience facilities such as parking facilities and the Expo Tower are good... ------------------------ Area 1.38 km2. Circumference 5 km. It is a lagoon isolated from the East Sea by a narrow and long sandbar, and its entrance is open on the north. This lake has natural conditions that allow ships to avoid the storms of the open sea, so during the Joseon Dynasty, there was a time when naval ships were anchored there with a naval station. The Cheongchocheon Stream, which flows out near Misiryeong (826 m) in the Taebaek Mountains, flows east to form Haksapyeong and Soya Plains and flows into Cheongchoho Lake at Joyangdong. This lake, which has the shape of a narrow jar, is currently the inner harbor of Sokcho Port and can accommodate ships of 500 tons. To the north is Yeongnang Lake, and to the southwest is Sokcho Beach.

(Translated by Google) The combination of Seorak Bridge and yachts provides a briefly exotic view. There are many restaurants nearby and it is good for a leisurely and quiet walk.

After a long, beautiful hike at the Seoraksan National Park this was a delicious treat for our feet! It's a small, basic place, clean and for 1000 Won you pay for the towel to dry your feet and a little mat to keep your bum dry as you sit and soak your feet. After paying, you take off your shoes and clean your feet at the rinsing station only then go find yourself a nice spot to sit. If you enjoy boiling your feet like I do, sit near the source where hot water enters the pool! Test and see what you prefer. The locals are friendly and we even had a great laugh at my red feet. They gestured that we walk the cold stream lined with pebbles after, to get the max out of this experience. Again lots of laughter as I struggled to keep my back straight and "relax" as I walked barefoot on these pebbles. Our feet felt SOOOOOO good after this!!! Really recommend this experience especially because it's local, small and friendly.

This is one of the best spent 1000 won ever. A simple pleasure but oh so pleasant. A small seating mat and towel. Today was the first open day of the year and it was snowing. Thew cafe is not yet operating. To soak one's feet in 40c water under a tent while snow is falling is luxurious. Highly recommend.

It's a great place to relax your feet and enjoy time. For 1,000 won, you can rent a towel and seat.

Only 1000 WON to get a towel and a sitting mat. Enjoy the hot 41 degrees C water and a pebble walking path for acupoint massage

Free public foot bath near a hiking course. We stayed about 45 minutes after a hike and enjoyed relaxing our feet in the hot water.

A memorable experience that your feet will thank you for. This feet footpath is a great way to relax after a day of adventures, a long hike or even if you are in need of some r&r. Remember to bring a towel but if you don’t they do have some available for 1000 won. There are several pools for you to soak in that range from hot to cold and even a rock pool to stroll through. Your feet will be silky smooth and revitalized from the nourishing water!

Free! If you want to get tower and seat you need to pay 1,000won

Absolutely worth it! There are several walking trails BUT make sure you go prepared! Some of the hikes require a lot of stair climbing! One of the hikes brings you from the Buddhist temple to the top of the mountain. The hike is 3.5km one way and requires a lot of stair climbing! Halfway up there is another temple inside the rock. Once you’re on top of the mountain you can see several cities on the coast. The view is fantastic! The other hike takes you to 3 waterfalls. Same here, lots of stair climbing! The hikes are not suitable for little kids, people with strollers, or people in wheelchairs. There is a huge parking lot where you pay 6,000 Won per day.

What a beautiful, beautiful national park. I would highly recommend visiting if you are planning on staying close by - and if you are not, I would recommend you doing it! We were staying in Sokcho, it is very easy to access Seoraksan by bus (number 7 or 7-1) as it is taking you right outside the park entrance. We arrived at the park at around 9am and it was the perfect timing as not too crowded at this time. We had a little walk around and decided to take the cable car straight away. I would highly recommend you to do it as soon as you arrive as it gets really crowded from 12pm. The views are absolutely breathtaking from up there. My friends and I are not expert at hiking, yet we went all the way to the top of the trail. It took us around 2 hours and a half with a few breaks and an hour and a half to walk down. You can judge by yourself by looking at the pictures, but I do think that it is more than worth it.

Beautiful mountain park and worth to be visited any season of the year. We came here mid-spring and the weather was perfect and the trees were all green. We paid a 6,000 won parking fee and 15,000 won per person fee for the cable car that took us to one of the peaks of Seoraksan. Up there, there's several trails that lead to decks with breathtaking views. There's also a Buddhist temple inside the national park and several trails where you can walk and just enjoy the sound of birds under the shade of the the trees. Plenty of cafes, restaurants, stores that sells beverages and snacks so you will bever get hungry. There's also gazebos and benches to rest or have a picnic.

Great national park! Free entrance, only need to pay for parking. There are a lot of restaurants, coffees, toilets at the entrance as well as on your hike. You can take the cable car or choose a hike that you prefer. We checked on Kahoot before and chose a hike that was 12km (round so 6-6km) It was lovely however the last 2 kms were uphill (so prepare yourself). I would really recommend this national park to everyone!!

This mountain range has several trails and I took the relatively easier Osaek trail or the five colours trail. It is called the Jujeongol course and goes mostly along the river. The initial part of the trail has steep climbs on a ladder, but later gets flat. In the way you can get to see a pagoda built during Silla period around 668 AD. Try to have the cool natural spring water called Osaegyaksu Mineral Water which is supposed to have high mineral content as mentioned on the board near its entrance.

Seoraksan National Park, located in the northeastern part of South Korea in Gangwon Province, is one of the most stunning and iconic natural destinations in the country. It is especially famous for its breathtaking landscapes, particularly during the autumn months when the foliage turns vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow. If it rains during your visit to Seoraksan National Park, don't worry—you can still enjoy a memorable experience! The park transforms beautifully in the rain, with mist rolling over the mountains and waterfalls becoming even more dramatic.

Beautiful national park. Hiked up to Ulsanbawi Rock. We were a bit unprepared with the weather as it was snowing and we didn’t have crampons. Most of the hike was good but certain parts were iced over. Were to turn back around, but a group of ajussi and adjumma decided to stay with us until the top. Was a good experience with pretty views.

The Seorak Sunrise park is a beautiful place to spend time. It’s a place for taking rest and enjoy the nature. The beach view is just awesome 🤩. The mermaid sculpture looks stunning with the sea backdrop.The park is equipped with good number of seats so you can seat and enjoy the view. The park itself is very beautifully decorated and designed. I liked this place. No entrance fee

This was a nicely kept place to enjoy a quick visit to the areas. The views are nice, too.

Nice park to see the sunset. Lots of nude statues. Lol

We come here during the warm afternoon and nothing really much here..

When you want to spend time with yourself, this is the right place to go.

Good scenery but nothing but bench. There are 24 hours convenience shop and restaurant cross the road.

We did a hik up to the water fall the view from the top so amazing relaxed up there enjoyed the view ..cable cars was on maintance till 1st of June the walk was good for us

That was a breathtaking valley with maples, full of small waterfalls, Near there there was an tall rocks that is called 비선대 (bi seondae) with a view of the center seoraksan. It was unforgetable, memorable memory I had at seoraksan. I will recommend this place at autumn for its unbelivable maple trees.

Aside from the top of Daecheongbong Peak and the next two kilometers or so down from there, I don't remember having more "ooooh and aaaah" moments anywhere else in Seoraksan National Park as I did here. The scenery was absolutely stunning. The mountains rising high above you on either side, the water rushing through the valley below, and the peaks in front of you off in the distance were absolutely beautiful. This section is a little bit of a hike from the Visitor Center, but it is before most of the uphill sections of the trail that lead to the mountain peaks, so I'd say most people would be fit enough to make it here. If so, you'd be crazy not to visit this place. Pictures don't do it justice

always in my memory

Beautiful scenery~~~~

Soo best mountain 1.708m

Magical especially in Autumn

Love the walks
