[2025 Boeun-gun Attraction] Travel Guide for Songnisan National Park (Updated Jul)

Even little kids👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 can often meet, so I recommend the Sokri Mountain Beopjusa hiking course⛰️ that is perfect for beginners! [Address] : Beopjusa small parking lot (26-1 Sanae 8-gil, Sokri-san-myeon, Boeun-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do) [Fee] : 5,000 won [Beopjusa entrance fee] : 5,000 won [Entry hours: Summer, April to October] : Sesimjeong~Munjangdae 4:00~15:00 ✔️ The fall foliage is also beautiful, but there are so many people that it is likely to literally become a parking hell. Leave early in the morning during the fall foliage season. ✔️ If you start from the Hwabuk course on the other side of Beopjusa, you don't have to pay the entrance fee, but the course is shorter and the difficulty level is slightly higher. #Tourist attraction review

#summervacayOkay, so I somehow convinced myself to hike up to Munjangdae Peak at Songnisan, 1,054 meters of “why am I doing this” followed by “ohhh okay, this is worth it.” The trail starts out nice and friendly, then suddenly it’s like, stairs... rocks... more stairs... and your legs start questioning life choices. But the forest is beautiful, like straight out of a fantasy movie. Super quiet, just birds and your own wheezing (lol). Right before the peak, there’s this intense rock section where you're basically climbing up with railings and praying a little. But then you hit the top and BAM—ridiculous views. Mountains for days, clouds doing their thing, and this peaceful temple-looking structure that makes you feel like a wise mountain monk. I sat up there, sweaty and proud, snacking on trail mix like it was a feast. Totally epic. If you're up for a little suffering with a big payoff, Munjangdae’s got you. Just bring water… and maybe a second pair of legs.

#summervacay Spent the day hiking around Boeun in Sokri Mountain National Park and wow, it’s a total chill-out spot. The trails are peaceful, the air is clean-clean, and the forest feels like it’s giving you a big leafy hug. Didn’t have a super strict plan, just followed the signs, wandered a bit, and let the mountain do its thing. You get a bit of everything: quiet trails, rocky climbs, little streams, and these insane views once you gain some elevation. The forest is super dense in parts, which makes it feel like you’re miles away from real life. And the sounds? Just birds, wind, and the occasional squirrel rustle. Found some quiet spots to snack and vibe. Not too many people, which made it even better. Definitely felt like a hidden gem, not touristy at all. If you're looking to unplug and move your legs without killing your knees, Boeun and Sokri got you. Would go back in a heartbeat.

#summervacay Songnisan is straight-up gorgeous. Did the Beopjusa loop and honestly, it’s the perfect mix of nature, culture, and a bit of leg burn. You start off walking through this peaceful forest, and suddenly you’re standing in front of a giant golden Buddha at Beopjusa Temple. It’s massive. Like, “how is this real?” massive. The trail winds up through shady trees and rocky paths, nothing too crazy but enough to feel like an adventure. You get these awesome views as you climb, especially near Munjangdae Peak, it’s a bit of a detour but 100% worth it if you’ve got the energy. Tons of little moments that make it special, bell sounds from the temple drifting through the trees, the fresh mountain air, and the general vibe of calm. Not a ton of people, which makes it feel even more peaceful. Bring snacks, take your time, and enjoy the ride. Songnisan’s a total reset button.

#summervacay Songnisan’s Munjangdae Peak is no joke, but in the best way possible. We hit the trail with good vibes and snacks, thinking it’d be a chill hike… yeah, no. It’s a climb. Like, stair after stair after stair. But the forest is gorgeous, super peaceful, and there are a bunch of spots to catch your breath and pretend you're admiring the view (instead of dying inside). The final push to the peak is kind of intense, it’s steep and a bit rocky, but totally worth it. The view at the top? Insane. You get this wild panoramic shot of endless mountains, and if the weather’s clear, it’s honestly breathtaking. We just sat up there for a while, catching our breath and soaking it all in. If you're into a bit of a challenge and want major payoff at the top, Munjangdae delivers. Bring water, good shoes, and maybe some candy to power through those stairs. Your legs will hurt, but your soul will thank you.

#koreatrip "Songnisan National Park is a hidden gem that offers both natural beauty and cultural heritage. The highlight of my trip was Beopjusa Temple, home to a massive golden Buddha statue that was absolutely awe-inspiring. The temple’s peaceful atmosphere made me want to sit and meditate for a while. The park itself has well-marked hiking trails, ranging from easy walks to more challenging routes leading up to Munjangdae Peak. The views from the top were spectacular, with rolling mountains stretching as far as the eye could see. The air was fresh, and I loved the feeling of being surrounded by nature. Even though the park is less famous than Seoraksan or Jirisan, it’s just as beautiful and much quieter, making it a perfect place for a relaxing day trip. Whether you’re into hiking or simply exploring cultural sites, Songnisan is definitely worth a visit!"

In South Korea, in addition to popular tourist destinations such as Seoul and Jeju Island, there is also a niche treasure city - Gimcheon City. It is located in North Gyeongsang Province. Its unique geographical location makes it a transportation hub in central South Korea and a gathering point for cultural integration. There are ancient historical sites, beautiful natural scenery and authentic food here. It is a great place for you to deeply experience the charm of Korea. 🌃 1. Best time to travel Jinquan City has a temperate monsoon climate with four distinct seasons🌳 • Spring (March-May): The average temperature is between 5°C and 18°C. Cherry blossoms, rape blossoms and other flowers are in full bloom. The city is surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers. It is a good time to enjoy the scenery and take photos. • Summer (June-August): The average temperature is 20°C - 28°C.

It is a great time to enjoy the red leaves and also a good time to taste autumn specialties. ☀️ • Winter (December-February): Average temperature -5°C -5°C, cold and dry, with occasional snow. Jinquan has a unique charm in the snowy scenery, and you can also go to the nearby ski resort to experience the fun of skiing🎿. 2. Must-visit attractions • Gimcheon History and Folk Museum: This is a great place to learn about Gimcheon’s history and culture. The museum houses numerous artifacts dating from prehistoric times to the Joseon Dynasty. Through these exhibits and multimedia displays, one can travel through time and feel the changes in Gimcheon. • Gimcheon Arirang Theme Park: Based on the theme of the famous Korean folk song “Arirang”, the park has a musical fountain, cultural exhibition hall, etc. Here, you can gain an in-depth understanding of the cultural connotations of "Arirang" and enjoy wonderful folk performances. The evening music fountain show is not to be missed. • Songnisan National Park: Not far from Gimcheon City, it is one of the famous national parks in South Korea. With spectacular mountains, dense forests and clear streams, it is a paradise for hiking enthusiasts. Walking along the hiking trail, breathing the fresh air, and appreciating the beauty of nature, your body and mind can be greatly relaxed. Climbing to the top of the mountain, you can overlook the magnificent scenery around, which is refreshing⛲️. • Wolchusan Mountain⛰️: It has a unique geological landscape with strange rocks and mysterious caves. During the climbing process, you can see rocks of various strange shapes, as if they were works of art carefully carved by nature. The view from the top of the mountain is very broad, and you can take in the beautiful scenery of Jinquan City, especially at sunset, when the city is particularly beautiful under the sunset glow. 3. Food Recommendations • Jinquan BBQ🍖: Select the best pork or beef, specially marinated, and grilled over charcoal fire. The crust is baked until golden and crispy, and the inside is tender and juicy. It is paired with lettuce, kimchi, garlic slices, etc. Wrap it in lettuce and eat it in one bite. The rich taste spreads in your mouth, leaving you with an endless aftertaste. • Hanjeongsik: An exquisite traditional Korean set meal consisting of a variety of side dishes, soup, rice and a main course. Each dish is beautifully prepared with rich and varied flavors, allowing you to taste a variety of Korean specialties at one time. Korean set meals are very particular and are adjusted according to seasonal ingredients in different seasons. • Ginseng Chicken Soup🍗: The whole chicken is stuffed with glutinous rice, red dates, ginseng and other ingredients and stewed for a long time. The soup is delicious, the chicken is tender and nutritious. Especially in the cold winter, a bowl of steaming hot ginseng chicken soup can instantly dispel the cold and warm your heart. • Cold noodles: One of the traditional Korean delicacies, thin and chewy noodles, paired with cold and sweet soup, cucumber, pear slices, beef and other ingredients, refreshing and delicious. In the hot summer, eating a bowl of cold noodles is so enjoyable, which can not only relieve the heat but also fill your stomach. IV. Precautions • Language: Korean is the main language. Although some tourist attractions and hotel staff can speak some simple English, downloading a translation software (such as Papago) will make communication more convenient. You can also learn some common Korean words and phrases in advance, such as greetings, words of thanks, and terms for ordering food. • Transportation🚗: The main means of transportation in Jinquan City are buses and taxis. You can buy a T-money card at a convenience store before taking a bus, which is very convenient to use; taxis are divided into ordinary taxis and model taxis 🚕, and model taxis have better service but are slightly more expensive.

📍84 Beopjusa-ro, Sokrisan-myeon, Boeun-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do If you are looking for a place to see autumn foliage, I recommend Sokrisan ‼️ The course from Beopjusa, famous for its beauty, to the summit of Sokrisan Munjangdae is a course that takes about 6 hours to walk round trip, but since it is mostly flat, it is a challenge even for hikers 🎶 The bright red autumn foliage seen while climbing the mountain and the ridge of the mountain seen from the summit were really beautiful 👍 They say the autumn foliage is a little later than usual so I recommend you enjoy the autumn foliage at Sokrisan Munjangdae this weekend 💗 #AutumnTravel

#FreeAccommodationEvent #Sokrisan #Beopjusa #UNESCOWorldHeritage Sokrisan, Beopjusa Address: 84 Beopjusa-ro, Sokrisan-myeon, Boeun-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do. No admission fee. Parking fee is 5,000 won. Parking is free if you eat at a nearby restaurant. Beopjusa is home to many heritages, including National Treasure No. 55, Beopjusa Palsangjeon, 3 national treasures, 13 treasures, 1 cultural property, and 2 natural monuments. If you come to Sokrisan, be sure to check it out. If you walk along Sejo-gil, you will see a small dam, so it would be good to go trekking and hiking.

Sokri Mountain is a famous mountain that is said to be one of the eight most scenic spots in Korea. Munjangdae is more suitable for enjoying fall foliage hiking than Cheonwangbong, the highest peak. This is because you can enjoy the fall foliage pouring down on both sides of the northwest ridge from Gwaneumbong and the main ridge from Cheonwangbong, with Munjangdae between them. #FallFoliageTravel #Sokri Mountain

#SpringTravel The first 2km of the road from the entrance of Sokri Mountain to Beopjusa Temple is very easy. It's a nice road to walk on, so much so that you'll find yourself whistling. After that, a slightly steep mountain road continues for about 1km. And then you see an old tavern. They sell pancakes, ramen, and Dongdongju. So I had a drink. Not knowing that the hellish Heoldeok Pass would continue for over 1km. 'Who am I? Where am I? Why am I?' After countless repetitions of 'Who am I? Where am I? Why am I?' You arrive at Munjangdae. When you arrive at Munjangdae, the view that was previously blocked by trees opens up. #Sokri Mountain #Hiking
