More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto a coach in Myeongdong before dawn, Seoul receding behind concrete and neon as the road unfurls toward the northern border. The air tightens with history the closer the bus climbs into low, craggy hills; the Majang Lake Suspension Bridge appears later in the day like a quiet exhale—steel and forest framing a reflective water bowl.
