Hallasan National Park



There are alot of interesting place in this world, and now I will tell you about one of them. Hallasan National Park, South Korea. A very interesting place to go hiking!



Hallasan National Park located in the province of Jeju-do, South Korea. Hallasan is the highest mountain in South Korea, standing at 1950 meters (6400 ft). The Park Located at the center of Jeju Island, so we can see the peak from almost all places on Jeju. It also a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site.

Hallasan National Park has 5 hiking routes. There are 5 entry points. Northwest Entrance Eorimok, Southwest Entrance Yeongshil, South Entrance Donnaeko, East Entrance Seongpanak, and North Entrance Gwaneumsa. But Donnaeko gate closed since 1994. All trails are relatively short (less than 10 km) and can be hiked in less than a day. But if you want to reach the summit (Baekrokdam) you can start in the morning, but dont forget to check to check the official operating hours, some trails only open at certian hour of the day.

Hallasan National have 2 trail that go to the summit. Gwaneumsa Trail, the summit trail. Gwaneumsa Trail offers hikers the best view of Hallasan’s deep valleys and stunning terrain. Midway along the trail is Guringul (a lava cave) and Tamna Valley. Tamna Valley is especially beautiful during the fall when the leaves are changing and during the winter when the entire area lays under a dusting of snow. Then another summit trail, Seongpanak Trail. This relatively long, gently sloping trail is perfect for beginners. Lush broadleaf trees give shade from the beating sun and in spring the azaleas bloom and turn the mountainside into a dazzling array of color.

Not only go the summit, Hallasan also have another trail that relatively easy. First Eorimok Trail. This short trail is another relatively easy trail for beginners. In spring, the nearby meadows are adorned with red royal azaleas. From the stone pathway to Mansedongsan visitors can catch a breathtaking panoramic view of the countryside and the island’s signature Oreums. Then there is Yeongsil Trail. As the shortest trail in Hallasan, this trail boasts Yeongsilgiam (a spectacular cliff with series of unusual rock formations). It is covered with azaleas and royal azaleas in spring and vibrant autumn foliage starting in October. 

It is interesting to go hiking to there, because we can enjoy the nature and see a very nice view in every rute. It will be an amazing experience. And if you want to visit the park, don't forget to bring jacket because it is cold.

There are various ticket pricw to enter the park. For adults the ticket price is 1600 won, for youth 600 won, and for children the price is 300 won.
