Visit Korea - Mount Sorak


We travelled in the bus for a 3 hour journey from Incheon International Airport to Moint Sorak(雪越山). The journey is very scenic.


The bus went through tens of long tunnel like this. It was bright and sunny all the way until we cross the backbone of the mountain (分水岭)facing the other side.


It was drizzling when we reach the foot of the mountain. Very misty sight.


We bought the raincoat from the driver at 1000kwn/piece. It is important to have the rain coat. Although the rain was light and rain drop was very very fine, we walk for 1 hour to the top.


We took the cable car up the steep slope.


Nice view from the cable car.


We reached the top. We can see too far away due to the heavy mist. The mist and cold temperature (10 plus degree) give a very nice and fresh feeling. 好像在上山寻找天山雪莲.



Benjamin can't smile anymore because two ulcers are guarding his mouth, one each side.


My mother in law checked out the fresh water. She told Jessie to stand still (站住不要动) and she ready did.


Jessie remain static for one minute as instructed.


On our way down in the cable car...


A station load of tourist, most coming from China.


There is a tall Buddha statue in the middle of the mountain foot.


We went to the temple. A few tour group friends are sincere believers.


We donated a piece of roof for the new temple, with 4 adults names with a wish for peace (合家平安).
