My first real encounter with snow, this winter, was on
Seorak moutain (
설악산).
Seorak san might be Korea's most famous mountain. It is in Gangwon province, part of the Taebaek mountain range. The mountain, and the area around it, is a national park. It is a particularly popular tourist destination in the autumn, when the leaves become colourful. But I'm glad I saw it in the winter, as there were very few visitors there when I went. It was beautiful, and serene.
