Cheonbuldong Valley
#summervacay Okay, Cheonbuldong Valley? Straight-up magical. It’s tucked inside Seoraksan National Park, and it’s like the mountain version of a peaceful stroll with a splash of drama. The trail follows a river, and there are all these smooth boulders, little pools, and random mini-waterfalls along the way, super photogenic.
The vibe is just calm. You’ve got the sound of water, shady trees overhead, and those epic rocky cliffs rising around you like nature’s catwalk. It’s not a hardcore hike, so perfect if you just wanna walk, breathe, and not die from exhaustion. I passed families, solo hikers, even couples on dates, definitely a crowd-pleaser.
You can go as far as you want, and it just keeps getting prettier. I stopped like every ten minutes to snap pics or just sit on a rock and vibe. Pro tip: pack snacks, wear good shoes, and bring a friend who won’t rush you. This place is slow-travel heaven. Cheonbuldong’s a whole mood.
