Sokcho and Seoraksan

Port of the East Sea and large granite massif combine markets, temples, forests, waterfalls and hikes of varied difficulty.

Seoraksan National Park, Sinheungsa Temple and Abai Village give the most telling landmarks of Sokcho and Seoraksan. Together, they form a destination where urban life, the coastline, mountain reliefs and forests meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
