Hiking is THE hobby of South Korea, you can hike anywhere because Korea is 70% mountains. This week I did two different hikes. On Tuesday my visiting teachers came down from Daegu to visit me. We drove right up to the temple and then we hiked the 20 minute stairs to reach the Buddha.
Pictures of the decorated Temple. The Buddha pictures are
here, from a previous hike.
Saturday Nick and I climbed Hawangsan Mountain. This hike has been on our To-Do list for a while. We were happy to hear other foreigners in Changnyeong that wanted to do it as well, so we set a date. The hike usually takes 3 hours but it took us a little longer because a family from our church came and they had a small child. She made it up the mountain no problem, but getting down was a different story.
Lots of beautiful flowers on the way!
Our first glimpse of the view, little did we know that we were only a little over halfway up.
The Top!!
The Rock at the top! We climbed Hawangsan Mountain!!
The friends we climbed with.
I swore we took more pictures at the top but when we reached the bottom they had disappeared. Which means we will have to climb again.
Good for you guys! Looks like so much fun! Beautiful views!
