More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the air‑conditioned van and uphill into a forest that smells of pine and damp stone. The trail narrows, and the trees open to a wooden terrace clinging to a cliff: Jeongchiam Hermitage. Mist rides the ridgelines, temple bells puncture the quiet, and the wind through the pines almost seems to urge you to slow your breath.
