| Introduction |
| The best way to see Seoraksan Mountain if you only have a
limited time, is by taking the Seorak Cable Car. However, it is so
popular that you sometimes have to wait in line for approximately 2 to 3
hours during the peak seasons (summer vacation and fall foliage
seasons) and during the weekends, but during off-seasons, the cable car
can be boarded without having to wait in line. Riding up and down the
cable car, visitors can view the fascinating rock formations of the
Gwongeumseong region as well as the Sogongwon area, Jeohangnyeong, and
Ulsanbawi Rock to the north. To the northeast, downtown Sokcho and the
East Sea comes into view. After getting off the cable car, visitors can take a 20 to 30 minute hike to Gwongeumseong to get a birds-eye-view of Oe-Serok. The cable car ascends at a relatively high speed with some excitement. Safety is assured and the scenery can be enjoyed with the guided tour in the cable car. It runs even when it is raining or snowing, but operation may be suspended under windy conditions. |
