Balwangsan Mountain has soft smooth trails, it is easy to climb it in both the spring and winter seasons. Since it is very windy and snowy in the winter, mountaineers need to be properly equipped with necessary gears. There is a Gondola lift where you can take a scenic ride (it costs 10,000 won/round trip) to reach the top easier.
If you take a gondola for a round-trip at the Dragon Plaza Boarding Stand, you will enjoy the harmony of nature while riding it for about 17 minutes. It is the Asia's longest sightseeing gondola (7.4Km). At the summit of the Balwangsan Mountain(1,458m) you will find a Swiss-style cafe, one of the filming sites of the movie 'Winter Sonata./ Goblin' You can make fond memories by having a cup of warm tea like the main characters in the famous drama. When you leave the building and go toward the Observatory on the right, you will find a life-size model of Bae Yong Joon and Choi Ji-woo, the main characters of the film 'Winter Sonata / Goblin'. |
