I super love this place most especially during the autumn season. It's a huge park where you can enjoy the super cold weather while being amazed by your surroundings. Take the cable car to the top of Mt. Seorak to fully appreciate the place.

Very beautiful, amazing place. You gotta walk 3.8 km just to get to the bottom of the mountain, and the walk up the stairs almost a kilometer, and all the while enjoying the view step-by-step. Bring some water and some kind of snack bar 'cause you gonna need it. You will definitely get tired walking up ,but once you get to the peak and down, a fresh air of relief will wash down all ur tiredness. It is worth it!
