Jangsan in Busan

It felt longer than 3.6km

I'm taking advantage of the good weather and hike as much as I can before it gets too hot. The winter in Korea is really cold and the summer is very hot. I also heard that fall and spring are getting shorter. No fun. For the last two weeks, I went hiking in Busan. I had to get my laptop fixed in Busan so I figure it would be convenient to just hike there also.

the Waterfall 

On March 9th, I hiked Jangsan (san = mountain in Korean). We reached the peak after about 2 1/2 hours. It was pretty foggy that day so we couldn't see the view of Busan. The peak was about 650m. It was a pleasant hike; not too intense and it took us about 3 1/2 hours up and down.


Here's the direction we found online... in case anyone reading is interested in hiking Jangsan.

'Take Jangsan subway exit 10. Walk straight toward Daecheon Park (and the mountain obviously). From there just follow the road up past a few scenic little temples and a waterfall. Eventually the paved road will end and you’ll be in a large circle area with many trails branching out. Go up the steps and just follow the signs toward Jangsan peak. Eventually the signs will become pretty sporadic, so just kind of follow the trail up. Go toward the top. Remember Daecheon Park and Pokposa Temple, because there are a few possible trails down the mountain and you wanna go toward these.'

It was a dangerous hike!

Caution!

Almost there but too foggy

Made it, we passed it and had to walk back.
