People might not understand the languages but they hear in the island, because it's like a different country that consists of 10 different nationalities. Nevertheless, they have same feeling there, dreaming of same things in the mind. The Love. Happy couple...

People come to Nami island to see what they dream, what they want to see. And they get satisfied. Now, it's your turn to visit for your dreamy dream.

Mt. Seorak(Seoraksan) is also a good choice to visit even if it's winter season.


Seoraksan is the highest mountain in the Taebaek mountain range in the Gangwon Province in eastern South Korea.It is located in a national park near the city of Sokcho. After the Hallasan volcano on Jeju Island and Jirisan in the south, Seoraksan is the third highest mountain in South Korea. The Daechongbong Peak (대청봉) of Seoraksan reaches 1,708 meters (5,603 feet). The Taebaek mountain chain is often considered the backbone of the Korean peninsula.

The national park attracts many domestic and international tourists all year round, but the main season for Seoraksan national park is autumn. The autumn colours in the area are considered amongst the most beautiful in Korea. The red and yellow forest is interrupted by rocks and small mountain streams flow amidst this. During the rainy season in summer—especially after a typhoon—these streams can swell.


Perhaps the most visited part of the mountain is the main entrance valley to the National Park, a fifteen-minute drive from Sokcho city. The valley runs west to east with a paved road leading up to the park's entrance gate. This valley contains many beautiful sites and is well worth a day visit.


The Yukdam waterfall and the Biryeong waterfall (비룡폭포) are located on the left side of the valley, about a forty-minute walk from the main car park. Ulsanbawi (울산바위) is a rock formation in the Seoraksan national park. The shape of Ulsanbawi is unique in the area. To reach the rocks you need to follow a hiking path and climb over 800 steps (it is actually 888 steps according to locals). On the way there, there are two temples and a spherical rock (Heundeulbawi, 흔들바위) which is located on top of a larger rock. This rock is about 5 meters (16 feet) high and can be moved with some effort. Thousands of people have already tried to push down Heundeulbawi, but nobody gets further than waggling the rock.

According to the legend Ulsanbawi comes from the city of Ulsan in the south east of Korea. As Geumgangsan (금강산) was built, Ulsanbawi walked to the north as the representative of the city. Unfortunately Ulsanbawi arrived too late and there was no more room. Ulsanbawi was ashamed and slowly trudged back to the south. One evening the rock went to sleep in the Seorak area. Ulsanbawi felt it was so beautiful around there that it decided to stay for good.

At the end of the main valley is Biseondae, a rock platform in a stream. Above the stream is a difficult to reach cave, which offers clear views of the surrounding rock formations.

A bit farther from the entrance is the Valley of a Thousand Buddhas (Cheonbuldong Gyegok, 천불동계곡), the primary valley of Seorak Mountain, also sometimes referred to as Seorak Valley. The valley was so named because the rock formations that line its sides resemble a line-up of Buddha statues.

외국인들도 서울숲을 좋아할까요?

외국인들도 서울숲을 좋아할까요?


노르웨이 친구들이 서울숲을 방문했습니다. 서울숲에서 좋았던 점을 꼽으라고 하니까 1) 돗자리 펴고 쉴 수 있다는 점, 2) 귀여운 강아지를 볼 수 있다는 점, 3) 산책을 할 수 있다는 점, 4) 각종 음식을 싸와서 먹을 수 있다는 점 등 여러가지 장점을 꼽았습니다. 서울시민들은 관광지 같이 가는 서울숲... 앞으로 서울에도 공원이 많이 늘어났으면 좋겠습니다.

- 서울숲 -

2005년 6월 18일 개원한 서울숲은 서울시민에게도 참으로 즐겁고 편안함을 제공해주는 서울의 대표적인 공원 중 하나입니다. 면적은 353,000㎡(18만 평)입니다. 시설은 서울숲 광장(A구역), 뚝섬생태숲(B구역, 165,000㎡), 자연체험학습장(C구역, 85,000㎡), 습지생태원(D구역, 70,000㎡), 한강공원(E구역, 33,000㎡), 기타 시설로 구성되어 있습니다. 사실 서울은 공원이 적은 도시로도 유명한 편에 속합니다. 공원을 관광지인양 찾아가야 하다니요 ㅜ 하지만 이것이 현재 서울의 현실입니다. 서울숲은 2호선 뚝섬역과 분당선 서울숲역에서 하차하면 가실 수 있습니다. 주소: 04770 서울특별시 성동구 뚝섬로 273 (성수동1가)


그런데 공원이니까 당연히 국가 관리인 줄 알았는데, 운영주체가 서울시가 아니고 (재)서울그린트러스트 서울숲컨서번시 라뇨?? 뭐 자회사를 만든건지 뭔지는 모르겠지만, 한국의 정부의 운영시스템은 이럴 때 보면 후진국이 맞습니다. 무슨 (재)서울그린트러스트 서울숲컨서번시 한테 운영을 맡기나요? ㅎ



서울 숲에서 한강 시민공원까지 연결이 되어 있어 이동도 가능합니다. 날씨가 따뜻해지면 가족과 함께 서울 숲에 한번 가보는 것도 어떨까요?
