Jirisan National Park : Finally here it is 🤩. hiked the 2nd highest peak of South Korea(Cheonwangbong Peak 1915m) in Jirisan National Park. I took the Jungsanri course to complete in a day. It was hard as the Jungsanri course is direct way to the peak which is completely steep from the start. But I enjoyed the journey. It was one of my greatest experiences 😇. There is an overnight bus to Jungsanri from Seoul Nambu terminal at 11.30 Pm and the return bus is at 3.30 Pm. For the people who rely on public transportation, I highly recommend this option. This bus is available only during weekends. — at Cheonwangbong Peak
