Itinerary description
The hike started at an elevation of 8m above sea level and climbed quickly and steeply to a jagged granite peak at 476m. The views of the ocean from the peak makes the walk distinct from your typical hikes in Seoul, but choose the day properly as the wind can be strong enough to blow you away and visibility so low that you can easily become separated from your group. The hike up from the southeast entrance was rougher compared to the easy stroll down from the peak to the main gate (50 minutes) along easy well trodden steps. Hwado bus stop is about 500 metres from the main entrance. Buses from there takes you all the way to Shincheon in Seoul.
Gangwhado ginseng makkurli is highly recommended after the hike.
