Jirisan Cheonwangbong Peak
Steep climbs on forested slopes with tranquil streams to a peak over a misty valley landscape.
It's said that you can only see the sunrise at Cheonwangbong Peak if you accumulate virtue for three generations. I climbed up early in the morning after a rain and was treated to a magnificent sea of clouds and sunrise. It's a no-brainer …
The second highest peak in South Korea after Hallasan, Jirisan's Cheonwangbong Peak stands at 1,915 meters. The day I climbed it, it was extremely windy and rainy.
Beautiful Peak eventhough its hard trail before reach the summit
A place I visit once or twice a year
It lives up to its reputation!
