September 27, 2024,Climb on Baegundae Peak

Today I chose a beautiful day to climb this mountain. It seemed that I was not the only one who decided to climb the popular Bukansan on a Saturday. The climb was about 800 meters up, step by step. Once at the top I was rewarded with a spectacular view of Seoul.
