50 beautiful places to visit in Korea
As these spectacularly photographic spots show, if you've only been to Seoul, you're missing out big time
By Cin Woo Lee 13 January, 2012
**********************************
Some 25 million South Koreans -- about half the population -- travel abroad at least once a year, but it’s safe to assume that most haven't seen all the beautiful sights within the country.
Seoul only takes up a mere 0.6 percent of South Korea's territory: here are 50 stunning photographs from the other 99.4 percent of the country that are all worth a visit.
Here are the flowery spring landscapes, sandy beaches, rocky mountains and quietly stunning historic sites on your new Korean travel bucket list. And just in case you were wondering, they are in no particular order. Feel free to add some suggestions of your own in the comment box at the end of the article.
1. Seongsan Sunrise Peak (성산일출봉)
Cue the cinematic music.
Hydrovolcanic eruptions formed this majestic volcanic crater 5,000 years ago on Jeju Island.
A UNESCO world heritage site, the peak is famous for many things, including numerous rare plant species, but is best known for the magnificent sight of the sun rising over it (hence the name).
The climb up the peak’s northwest side ridge (its other sides are steep cliffs) to the 180-meter highest point takes 30 minutes.

2. Ggotji Beach (꽃지 해수욕장)
Time to visit the grandparents.
Located four kilometers southwest from Anmyeon-eup, this cream-colored beach is the ideal place to go for a drive and watch the sun sink into the ocean between two large rock formations known as the Granny Rock and the Grandpa Rock.
Legend has it that the wife of a base commanding officer in the Shilla Dynasty became the Granny Rock when she died after waiting faithfully for her husband.
Seungeon 4 ri, Anmyeon-eup, Taean-gun, Chungcheongnam-do (충남 태안군 안면읍 승언4리)
3. Darangee Village (경상남도 남해 가천 다랭이마을)
Darangee Village, a small well-preserved village in the southernmost area of west Namhae-gun, features an extraordinary sight of countless tiny fields (over 100 levels) on a steep mountain slope against the open sea.
Honghyeon-ri, Nam-myeon, Namhae-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do (경남 남해군 남면 홍현리)
4. Gwang-An Bridge (부산 광안대교)
Also known as the Diamond Bridge, this two-story bridge connects Suyeong-gu and Haeundae-gu and offers an astonishing view of mountains, sandy beaches, hills and city lights.
Kwang-An Bridge is not for pedestrians, but anyone can enjoy the spectacular night view of the bridge from afar; its state-of-the-art lighting system allows an exterior lighting of over 100,000 colors.
Suyeong-gu, Busan (부산광역시 수영구)
5. Kyeong-Wha Station, Jinhae (진해 경화역)
This small whistle-stop bustles with tourists and amateur photographers every spring.
Cherry blossoms rain down on the train track and countless shutters click madly away as the train approaches the station under the cherry blossom tunnel.
The cherry blossom road at Yeojwa stream, (number 17 on this list) is also nearby for those who want more photo-ops.
Kyeongwha-dong, Jinhae-gu, Gyeongsangnam-do (경남 창원시 진해구 경화동)
6. Upo Marsh (우포늪)
At 2,314 kilometers squared, Upo Marsh is the largest inland wetland in Korea and thrice the size of Yeouido. Formed over 140 million years ago, the marsh is home to 1,500 plants and animals, some of which are endangered species.
Visitors can bike or walk around this beautiful natural swamp, where migratory birds are known for flying low.
Daedae-ri, Yueo-myeon, Changnyeong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do (경남 창녕군 유어면 대대리)
7. Jeungdo Salt Farm (전남 신안 증도 염전)
This treasure island (artifacts from the Song Dynasty have actually been found at the bottom of the sea) is famous for its clear seawater, soft beach, and salt farms.
The magical sight of huge salt farms is not the only spectacle that can be found here; the mud flat leisure town allows tourists to experience and observe the marine life of the mud flat.
Jeungdo-myeon, Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do (전남 신안군 증도면)
8. Gongryong Ridge, Seorak Mountain (설악산 신선대 공룡능선)
Physical fitness and mountain climbing experience are prerequisites to viewing these curious peaks in the Seorak mountain range.
Thought to be shaped like the spine of a dinosaur (hence the name, "Dinosaur Ridge"), this rocky ridge offers spectacular views of both inner and outer Seorak.
The climb is no picnic: the peak elevation of Gongryong Ridge, the most popular ridge route in the range, is approximately 1,200 meters.
Goseong-gun/Yangyang-gun/Inje-gun, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do (강원도 속초시 고성군, 양양군, 인제군)
9. Uleung Island Seaside Road (울릉도 해안도로)
Uleung Island, nicknamed "Mysterious Island", is a popular weekend getaway spot for Seoulites.
Curious rock formations, shore cliffs and numerous waterfalls adorn the island’s Seaside Road.
Anyone planning to walk or bike their way around Uleung Island should make sure they set aside enough time, as they will inevitably stop countless times to admire the glorious view.
Uleung-eup, Uleung-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do (경북 울릉군 울릉읍)
10. Seopjikoji, Jeju Island (제주도 섭지코지)
First-time visitors to Jeju island need to plan their trip wisely, as the Jeju bucket list is long and varied. one of the musts on the list is Seopjikoji, a promontory on the coast famous for its serenity and romance.
Yellow rape blossoms fill the field in the spring, creating a colorful contrast with the red soil and cerulean sky.
The best photographs of Sungsan Sunrise Peak (the first item on this list) can be taken here at Seopjikoji.
The scenery of Seopjikoji has also been captured by several Korean films and dramas, including "All In," one of the first Hallyu dramas starring Lee Byung-hun and Song Hye-kyo.
261 Seopjikoji-ro, Sungsan-eup, Seogwipo-si, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province (제주특별자치도 서귀포시 성산읍 섭지코지로 261)
11. Bomun Pavilion, Gyeongju (경주 보문정)
Gyeongju, an ancient capital of the Shilla Dynasty, boasts the nickname "a museum with no walls."
Bomun Pavilion, a small wooden gazebo standing over a quiet duck pond, is a great spot to experience Korea’s spring; the cherry blossoms fluttering over the pond provide an exquisite sight.
In fact, it's the perfect place to view all of Korea's markedly different seasons: summer's lush green leaves, fall's scarlet and mustard foliage, and winter's blankets of snow.
Bodeok-dong, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do (경북 경주시 보덕동)
12. Udo (우도)
Just 15 minutes away from Jeju Island, Udo is another addition to Jeju's bucket list.
Visitors can hike on Olle road, or opt for a scooter ride along the shore, a submarine excursion or sea fishing. Just don't forget the sunblock.
Udo-myeon, Jeju-si, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province (제주특별자치도 제주시 우도면)
13. Haeinsa Temple, Hapcheon (합천 해인사)
The world's oldest intact Buddhist canon, the Tripitaka Koreana, is carefully housed in the 1,200-year-old Haeinsa Temple.
The temple's other landmarks include the oldest wooden Buddha statue in Korea (the Haeinsa Vairocana) and a UNESCO world heritage Janggyeong Panjeon ( a "storage hall of Buddhist Sutras").
10 Chiin-ri, Gaya-myeon, Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do (경남 합천군 가야면 치인리 10번지)
14. Chunwang Peak, Jiri Mountain (지리산 천왕봉)
At 1,915 meters, Chunwang Peak on Jiri Mountain is the second highest peak in South Korea and the beloved conquest of many a Korean mountain climber.
The national park on Jiri Mountain stretches over five cities and three provinces, and is home to quietly dazzling flora and fauna as well as seven national treasures and 26 treasures.
Many tread the trail to Chunwang Peak to watch the sun rise, some simply to enjoy the view from the top, and others for the pleasure of breathing in the crisp, clean mountain air and drinking the brain freeze-inducing spring water of Chunwang Spring, which is located just 300 meters below Chunwang Peak.
Samjang-myeon/Sicheon-myeon, Sancheong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do (경남 산청군 시천면, 삼장면)
15. Juknokwon, Damyang (담양 죽녹원)
This dense bamboo thicket is located in Damyang, another "slow city" that welcomes all who are tired of hectic city life.
Eight trails around the thicket offer eight different themes to saunter through.
If you look carefully between the bamboo plants, you can spot the green tea shoots that grow from the dew that drips off the bamboo leaves, known as Jukro tea. The Juknokwon observatory in the middle of the thicket occasionally hosts Jukro tea tasting events.
Hyanggyo-ri, Damyang-eup, Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do (전남 담양군 담양읍 향교리)
16. Naganeupseong Folk Village, Suncheon (순천 낙안읍성 민속마을)
Straw-roofed houses, government offices, guesthouses and a castle, all from the Chosun Dynasty, remain perfectly preserved in their original forms in this 22.6 kilometer-squared historical site.
No, it’s not an exterior set of a historical drama, people actually live in those houses and better yet, they offer overnight homestays.
Choongmin-gil, Nagan-myeon, Suncheon-si, Jeollanam-do (전라남도 순천시 낙안면 충민길 30)
17. Yeojwa Stream (경상남도 진해 여좌천 벚꽃길)
The fifth item on this list already touched on the festival of cherry blossoms in Jinhae, but the cherry blossom road at Yeojwa Stream is so strikingly beautiful that it deserves another mention (and another photo).
Lovers visit this site to cross the "Romance Bridge", which has been used as a shooting location for "Romance," a drama starring Kim Ha-nul and Kim Jae-won.
Bloggers say that these romantic blossoms can be most appreciated at night, when there are fewer tourists and the pale pink flowers glow against the dark sky.
Yeojwa-dong, Jinhae-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do (경상남도 창원시 진해구 여좌동)
18. Boseong Green Tea Field (보성 녹차밭)
Approximately 40 percent of Korea's tea is produced in the rolling fields of Boseong, which has also provided the backdrop of many Korean dramas and films.
Yes, green tea-related specialties (fresh green tea ice cream and green tea pork belly) are tasty treats, but the spectacular view of the seemingly endless tea fields is the real reason so many visitors stop by Boseong.
A green tea festival is held every May while in the winter, the fields are decorated with tiny light bulbs.
Bongsan-ri, Boseong-eup, Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do (전라남도 보성군 보성읍 봉산리)
19. Bulguksa Temple (경주 불국사)
This UNESCO-listed site is perhaps the most famous historic site in Korea.
Two granite pagodas on either sides of the temple, Dabotap and Seokgatap, as well as Seokguram, a man-made grotto just above the temple, add to the splendid grandeur of this 1,500-year-old home of many important relics.
15-1 Jinhyeon-dong, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do (경상북도 경주시 진현동 15-1)
20. Daegwallyeong Ranch (대관령 양떼목장)
This only sheep ranch in Korea doubles as a natural sledge park in winter.
The dreaminess of the view is as heady as the mountain air.
Meat-lovers should stop by the restaurants in the ranch village for a taste of the highest grade lamb.
14-104 Hoenggye 3 ri, Doam-myeon(Daegwallyeong-myeon), Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do (강원 평창군 도암면 횡계3리 (대관령면 횡계3리) 14-104번지)
21. Cheongdo Bull Fighting Festival (청도 소싸움 축제)
As the biggest bull fighting festival in Korea, Cheongdo Bull Fighting Festival attracts around half a million people every year.
In addition to the big matches of 130 fighting bulls, there are art contests, cow-play exorcisms, rodeo experience, and even magic shows to entertain the crowd.
If the sights are a bit too violent for your taste, check out other Cheongdo attractions such as the Nakdae Waterfall and Unmun Temple.
Cheongdo-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do (경상북도 청도군)
22. Hyeopjae Beach, Jeju Island (제주도 협재 해수욕장)
We think this beach is one of the main reasons Jeju Island made it unto the seven new wonders list.
This white sandy beach is perfect for families with its shallow water (average depth of 1.2 meters), nearby amenities, and camping in the pine forest surrounding the beach.
Hyeopjae is also particularly known for its delicious abalones and conches, served fresh in the seafood restaurants dotting the beach.
2497-1 Hyeopjae-ri, Hallim-eup, Jeji-si, Jeju Speicial Self-Governing Province (제주특별자치도 제주시 한림읍 협재리 2497-1번지)
23. Anapji (Anap Pond) (경주 안압지)
This man-made pond was created during the Shilla Dynasty approximately 1,500 years ago.
Three buildings stand on three artificial islands while patches of lotus flowers frame the pond.
Gorgeous exterior lighting that go on after sunset create a magical night view.
26 Inwang-dong, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do (경상북도 경주시 인왕동 26)
24. Seryang-Je (세량제)
Seryang-Je, a reservoir built in 1969 in Hwasun, is another famous spot for both professional and amateur photographers for its ethereal mist and reflections of colorful blossoms and leaves.
Seryang-ri, Hwasun-eup, Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do (전라남도 화순군 화순읍 세량리)
25. Kwanghan Pavilion (광한루)
Kwanghan Pavilion is the setting of Chunhyangjeon, one of Korea's most famous folk tales.
Chunhyang, the young, beautiful daughter of a gisaeng (Korean geisha), and Mongryong, the handsome son of the local governor, first met and fell in love in this beautifully designed pavilion, which was designated a treasure in 1963.
77-1 Cheongeo-dong, Namwon-si, Jeollabuk-do (전북 남원시 천거동 77-1)
26. Seomjin River Train Village (섬진강 기차마을)
Kudos to the Gokseong district office, which has managed to create a lovely tourist attraction out of abandoned railroads.
A brief steam train ride (they don’t make ’em like this anymore, literally) is available for tourists, who can also enjoy a bike hike on a trail bike or a romantic walk beside the train track.
770-5 Oji-ri, Ogok-myeon, Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do (전라남도 곡성군 오곡면 오지리 770-5)
27. Cheongsando (청산도)
For a small country road, Cheongsando marks a lot of "firsts" -- it is the world’s first "Slow Road" in Asia’s first "Slow City".
It doesn’t take long to realize why it is called "Slow Road" -- one’s pace naturally slackens to fall in with the pace of the rest of the island.
Rape blossoms (in spring) and Mexican Asters (in fall) in full bloom are bordered by simple stone walls.
Cheongsan-myeon, Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do (전라남도 완도군 청산면)
28. Halla Mountain (한라산)
This fairy-tale sight of snowflakes and icicles covering tree branches on Halla Mountain were the inspiration for the Halla Snow Festival that was held late January/early February every year.
Unfortunately, the festival was halted a few years ago because whenever they set a date it would rain and people would get mad.
But the snow-covered trees are still there, and you are welcome to go sledding, snow rafting and ice sliding on your own.
Halla Mountain, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province (제주특별자치도 한라산)
29. Terraced Fields, Hamyang (함양 다락논)
This small village at the foot of Jiri Mountain displays a curious sight of terraced rice paddies.
In spring the water in the paddies reflects the sky, while in autumn the paddies glow with golden grains.
Macheon-myeon, Hamyang-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do (경남 함양군 마천면)
30. Nuri Peace Park (임진각 평화누리공원)
This artistic park located in Paju embodies South Koreans’ yearning and longing for peace in the Korean peninsula.
Yes, it’s a rather heavy subject, but even those who couldn’t care less about the death of Kim Jong Il can still enjoy the beauty of this park, which is well-known for its colorful display of pinwheels and the giant bamboo colossi.
618-13 Majeong-ri, Munsan-eup, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do (경기도 파주시 문산읍 마정리 618-13)
31. Silk Fall, Jiri Mountain (지리산 뱀사골 실비단폭포)
This mossy waterfall is in a now-restricted area of Jiri Mountain, which means a ₩500,000 fine for anyone caught venturing near here.
Think of it as a really long sabbatical for nature.
Baemsa-Valley, Jiri Mountain, Namwon-si, Jeollabuk-do (전북 남원시 지리산 뱀사골)
32. Young-san River (영산강)
Among the many beautiful river views in Korea, those from the Young-san River rank among the top and give those from Han River some serious competition.
For dedicated cyclists, there is a 132 kilometer-long cycle path following the river from Damyang to Mokpo.
Yongso-ri, Yong-myeon, Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do (전남 담양군 용면 용소리)
33. Poppy Garden, Simhak Mountain, Paju (파주 심학산 꽃밭)
The poppy-dotted scenery at Simhak Mountain looks like it's straight out of a Claude Monet painting.
One of the few places where you can see poppies in Korea, the local town hosts a Poppy Festival here every year around June.
Simhak Mountain, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do (경기도 파주시 심학산)
34. Royal Azalea Festival, Hwangmae Mountain (황매산 철쭉축제)
At 1,108 meters, Hwangmae Mountain is the highest peak in the Sobaek mountain range, and is covered by royal azalea blossoms every spring.
The festival runs from the beginning of May for two weeks, and organizers recommend coming at dawn to capture the most intense images on camera.
1 Mountain, Beoppyeong-ri, Chahwang-myeon, Sancheong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do (경남 산청군 차황면 법평리 산1번지)
35. Sin-Reuk Temple, Yeo Ju (여주 신륵사)
This old riverside temple is relatively unknown to the public and features quite a few treasures including stone pagodas, a stone bell and a grove of zelkova trees.
The temple and its surrounding area also hosts a sweet potato festival early every January.
282 Cheonsong-ri, Yeoju-eup, Yeoju-gun, Gyeonggi-do (경기도 여주군 여주읍 천송리 282)
36. Daedun Mountain Suspension Bridge (대둔산 구름다리)
Daedun Mountain is famous for its bright autumn colors and its 81-meter-high Geumgang Suspension Bridge.
The red bridge that connects Imgeum Rock and Ipseokdae makes mountain climbing seem easy.
Wanju-gun, Jeollabuk-do / Geumsan-gun, Chungcheongnam-do (전북 완주군, 충남 금산군)
37. Haeundae Beach (해운대 해수욕장)
Hundreds of thousands frequent to this renowned beach every summer, but summer is not the only season you can see some flesh at Haeundae -- the Polar Bear Festival is held every January, when contestants leap in the cold ocean screaming and laughing.
Around 2,000 people attended this year's festival, marking the largest number of participants to date.
Woo 1-dong,Joong-dong, Haeundae-gu, Busan (부산 해운대구 우1동 , 중동)
38. Yongam Temple (옥천 용암사)
Originally built in 552, this temple takes its name from a nearby rock that was supposed to have been shaped like a dragon but was destroyed along with most of the temple during the Japanese occupation.
According to legend, the last prince of the Shilla Dynasty wept here after glimpsing a view of his hometown. He was on his way to Geumgang Mountain after the fall of the dynasty.
On brisk fall mornings, the mountains surrounding this temple are slathered with a sea of clouds, and the sight of the sun rising through this dense whiteness of clouds renders the viewer speechless.
Samcheong-ri, Okcheon-eup, Okcheon-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do (충북 옥천군 옥천읍 삼청리)
39. Snow in Taebaek Mountain (태백산 설경)
Gangwon province is famous for catastrophically heavy snows in the winter.
While driving there may be rough, the snowfall makes for the best skiing in the country.
The High1 Resort features the highest peak (1,345 meters) and puffiest snow among ski and snowboard resorts in Korea.
The 18th Taebaek Snow Festival will take place January 27-February 5 this year and will feature sledding, snow rafting, ice slides and snowball fights. For more information, click here.

40. Yang Dong Traditional Village (양동 한옥마을)
The nature and culture of this village remains the same as it was during the Chosun Dynasty.
One of the most recent additions to the UNESCO world heritage list, the village has featured famous guests such as Prince Charles and Ban Ki-Moon.
Yangdong-ri, Gangdong-myeon, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do (경북 경주시 강동면 양동리)
41. Nami Island (남이섬)
Fans of "Winter Sonata" will recognize this famous road.
Despite the fact that Nami Island is a place of historical interest (the island is named after Minister Nami, a Minister of War during the Chosun Dynasty), most visitors come to stroll down the famous Metasequoia road or see where Bae Yong-joon and Choi Ji-woo stood or sat during the filming for the original Hallyu drama "Winter Sonata."
Fun fact: Nami Island was not an island until the 1940s, when the Cheongpyeong dam was built.
Bangha-ri, Namsan-myeoon, Chuncheon-si, Gangwon-do (강원도 춘천시 남산면 방하리)
42. Suncheon Bay (순천만)
One of the biggest coastal marshes in the world, Suncheon Bay is home to countless plants and marine life and features the biggest field of reeds (5.4 kilometers squared) in Korea.
The Suncheon Bay Reed Festival is held every year in October, but the bay is just as beautiful and charming any other month of the year.
162-2 Daedae-dong, Suncheon-si, Jeollanam-do (전라남도 순천시 대대동 162-2)
43. Inje Smelts Festival (인제 빙어축제)
The Inje Smelts Festival takes place on Soyang lake every winter and offers families and couples (and the occasional single visitor) some major fun on ice.
Even if fishing is not your idea of fun, you'll enjoy the eating part.

Soyang Lake, Inje-gun, Gangwon-do (강원도 인제군 소양호)
44. Ulsan Rock, Seorak Mountain (울산바위)
This six-peaked rocky mountain has five urn-shaped holes at the top and is named "Crying Mountain," due to legends and ancient records that claim the rocks on the mountain cry just before a big wind is about to blow.
Another legend behind the mountain's name says that a rock was wandering around looking for Geumgangsan but settled in Seoraksan when it couldn't find it, and became the Ulsan rock.
Seorak National Park, Seorak-dong, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do (강원 속초시 설악동 설악산국립공원)
45. Bangwhasuryujeong, Suwon Hwa Seong (화성 방화수류정)
A literal setting for poetry.
Bangwhasuryujeong is one of four polygonal pavilions in Hwa Seong.
During the Joseon dynasty, this pavilion was used to keep a lookout and for performances of King Jungjo’s archery skills; now people hold recitals of Korean traditional music and poetry surrounded by the duck pond, the willow trees and the flowers.
Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do (경기도 수원시 팔달구)
46. Namdae Stream, Muju (무주 남대천 섶다리)
Traditionally, a seop bridge -- a temporary bridge fashioned out of logs, mud, and pine branches -- was built to let the villagers cross Namdae River from early winter until the summer, when heavy rains would wash the bridge away.
Behold the traditions of yore at the seop bridge festival, which is part of the Muju firefly festival and will take place this year from June 8-16.
Namdae Stream, Muju-eup, Muju-gun, Jeollabuk-do (전라북도 무주군 무주읍 남대천)
47. Donglim Reservoir, Gochang (고창 동림저수지)
Every year, more than 200,000 spectacled teals (the color takes its name from the bird) fly about in an orderly manner above this beautiful reservoir, which was voted "Kingdom of migratory birds" in 2004 in a national survey.
Built in 1935, the 3.82-square-kilometer reservoir is also famous as a fishing hole.
Heungduk-myeon/Sungnae-myeon, Gochang-gun, Jeollabuk-do (전북 고창군 흥덕면/성내면)
48. The Garden of Morning Calm (아침고요수목원)
The Garden of Morning Calm is a beautifully designed and balanced arboretum in Gapyeong, run by a professor of horticulture.
The garden features more than 20 themes and 5,000 different kinds of plants, and will be hosting a luminarie--a decorative structure studded with 6 million LED lightbulbs--until March 1.
When there is a luminarie, the garden is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends. The luminarie lights turn on at sundown.
When there is no luminarie, the garden is open from 8:30 a.m. until sundown.
Tickets cost ₩8,000 for weekends and holidays, ₩7,000 for weekdays from April to November and ₩6,000 from December to March.

49. Chok-suk Pavilion (촉석루)
This beautiful, historical pavilion overlooking Nam River is most famous as the place where Nongae, the concubine of a government official in the Chosun Dynasty, jumped into the river with a Japanese general after the castle of Jinju fell into Japan’s hands.
Check out the view from the pavilion on the cliff, but don’t jump; they won’t be telling your story in the same way.
573-1 Bonsung-dong, Jinju-si, Kyeongsangnam-do (경상남도 진주시 본성동 573-1)
50. Samkwang Temple (삼광사 연등축제)
Every year, around Buddha’s birthday, the biggest Lotus Lantern Festival in Busan is held at Samkwang Temple.
The entire temple is strung with countless lotus lanterns and lanterns of other creative forms.
This year, Buddha's birthday falls on May 28.

한국의산천이 여러분께 드리는 51번째의 비경 Tip 살둔산장
최고의 비경 오지마을 살둔리
오지란?
해안(海岸)이나 도시(都市)에서 멀리 떨어진 대륙(大陸) 내부(內部)의 깊숙한 땅을 말한다.
2006년 어느날 산장지기(이상근 兄)가 돌아왔다는 연락을 받았다. 조경동 답사겸 예정에 없는 계획을 세우고 달려갔다.
여행가, 산악인, 기자, 화가, 문학가,시인, 사진작가들이 많이 찾는 곳 살둔산장.
2층으로 된 목조건물인 살둔산장의 외부는 아직 못다지은 집이라 해서 '미진각(未盡閣)'이라고도 하고 산이 반, 물이 반이라는 뜻의 '산반수반정(山半水半亭)'으로도 불린다. 또 2층 작은 마루는 바람을 베고 눕는다 하여 '침풍루(寢風樓)'라 한다.
산장이 준공된 것은 1985년. 백담산장을 지키던 고 윤두선씨가 백담산장이 국립공원에 인수되면서 이곳에 터를 잡고 월정사를 짓던 대목을 불러다 지었다. 본디 산장의 이름은 ‘미진각(未盡閣)’이었다. 돌기와로 멋지게 지붕을 올리고 싶었지만 자금이 모자라 함석을 올린 게 한스러워 그렇게 이름붙였다고 한다.
지은 지 21년이 지났지만(1985년 준공) 틈새하나 나지 않아 '한국사람이 살고 싶은 집 100선'에 꼽히기도 한 살둔산장은 1년내내 산사람들과 여행자들이 끊이지 않는다.
이곳에 오면 누구나가 자연인이 된다. 무념,무상의 상태로 맹현봉과 군암산, 개인산의 정기를 그대로 받으며 내린천의 시원한 물줄기로 목을 축이면 무릉도원이 따로 없을 정도로 그 곳은 태초의 모습 그대로다.
이곳 살둔산장에는 문명의 이기는 별로 없다.
그 흔한 TV도 없고 인터넷은 당연히 없다. 전화만 있을 뿐 수수한 시골 토담집같은 느낌 그대로이다.
온돌은 장작에서 기름 보일러로 바뀌었고 주방에 공용 개스렌지와 냉장고, 그리고 주방식기가 있을 뿐이다.

굽이져 돌아가는 내린천 상류. 분교 뒤로 너른 감자밭이 있고 그 뒤에 자그맣게 살둔산장이 보인다.
사람이 살만한 곳으로 여기에 머물면 산다"는 뜻의 살둔마을. 행정상으로 강원도 홍천군 내면 율전리에 속한다. 일제시대 행정구역 통폐합 조치에 의해 한자화를 하면서 지명이 바뀌어 지도상에는 생둔(生屯)으로 표기되 있지만 주민들은 지금도 살둔이라 부른다.
삼둔 사가리의 전해오는 유래
강원 인제 땅에는 독특한 지명이 있다. 기린면이다. 말 그대로 기린(麒麟)이다. 기린이 우리 땅에 들어온 것은 일제시대 때 창경궁을 동물원인 창경원으로 만들면서이다. 그런데 어떻게 지명이 기린일까. 현지 향토사학자들은 진짜 기린이 아니라 사슴을 형용한 지명이라고 풀이한다.
지금은 찾을 수 없지만 인제에는 사슴이 많이 살았다고 전해진다. 사람의 흉한 손길을 피해 사슴들이 몸을 피한 곳이다. 워낙 골이 깊고 산이 험하기 때문이다. 사슴 뿐 아니라 사람도 피했다. 기린면 인근의 방태산, 구룡덕봉 등에는 삼둔 오가리라는 땅이 있다. 정감록에는 나라에 난리가 나도생명을 부지할 수 있는 곳으로 기록돼있다. 예로부터 왕을 저버렸거나, 왕으로부터 버림을 받은 사람들이 숨어 들어 살았다.
삼둔: 살둔(생둔), 월둔(달둔), 귀둔.
사가리: 아침가리,명지가리,연가리,곁가리.
여기서 둔이란 "둔덕"을 말하며 "가리"란 "거리"의 구개음화 현상이 아닌가 싶다. -한국의산천-

▲ 전통적인 귀틀집의 형태를 따른 살둔산장 ⓒ2012 한국의산천
80년도에는 이곳 도로가 잘 나있지가 않아 오대산에서 구한 원목을 내린천 강물을 이용하여 떠내려 보내고 그것을 가지고 산장을 지었다고 한다.81년에 짓기 시작하여 85년 10월에 완공되었으니 4~5년 걸려 지은 것이다.
살둔마을이 세상에 알려진 것은 귀틀집 살둔산장 때문이다. 윤보선 대통령의 조카가 4년여에 거쳐 공들여 지었다는 산장은 마을을 감싸고 휘도는 내린천 앞에 자리잡았다.
사람들이 겨울에 산골 살둔을 찾는 이유는 전통 귀틀집에서 순백의 오지마을을 보기 위해서다. 이곳을 대표하는 살둔 산장 역시 강원도 지역의 전통 귀틀집 모양을 그대로 유지하고 있다.
이 집을 지을 때 산장 바닥을 사람 키만큼 판 다음에 숯가루 소금 모래 자갈을 세 겹이나 쌓고 그 위에 통나무를 올렸고,통나무 사이에는 짚을 넣고 흙을 개어 덧발랐다고 전한다.
통나무를 ‘우물 정’자로 쌓아올려 지은 집은 각 모서리마다 홈을 파서 단단히 끼워 넣었다.
이곳에서 바라보는 설경이 무척 아릅답다.
겨울이면 눈이 참 많이 내린다.
눈이 한번 내리면 사람 허리많큼 내린다. 그래서 순백의 살둔산장은 겨울이면 더욱 인기있는곳으로 떠오른다.
살둔리, 지금은 모든 도로가 아스팔트 포장이 되었지만 어느 방향에서 가더라도 큰 고개를 2~3개 넘어야 하고, 거리에 비해 시간이 많이 소요되는 곳이기에 홍천군 내면쪽은 아직도 오지라고 말할 수 있다.
조선시대 예언서인 정감록(鄭鑑錄)에는 "삼둔 사가리"라 하여 일곱 군데의 피난지소를 기록하고 있는데, 난을 피하고 화를 면할 수 있는 곳이란 뜻으로, 전하는 말에는 피난굴이 있어 잠시 난을 피했다 정착했다는데서 유래된 곳들이다. 그러나 그러한 피난굴은 찾을 수 없고 세 곳의 삼둔과 네 곳의 사가리만이 남아 있는데, 삼둔은 홍천군 내면의 살둔(생둔),월둔(달둔) 그리고 귀둔이고, 사가리는 인제군 기린면의 아침가리, 명지가리, 연가리, 곁가리로 예로부터 인정하는 오지 속의 오지들이다.
이러한 피난지소들이 홍천군 내면과 인제군 기린면에 집중된 이유는 다름 아닌 지형지세에서 찾을 수가 있다.
방태산(1,435.6m) 구룡덕봉(1,388.4m) 응복산(1,155.6m) 가칠봉(1,240.4m) 등 대부분이 1천m가 넘는 고봉들로 둘러싸여 과연 이런데서 사람이 살았을까 할 정도로 믿기 어려울 정도의 험준한 곳들인 것이다.
그러나 그곳으로 찾아가는 길목이 그럴 뿐 일단 마을로 들어가면 다르다. 신기하게도 그곳들은 대부분 안락의자를 연상케 하는 아늑함과 함께 널따란 공간이 펼쳐지기 때문이다.
마을 앞으로는 사철 마르지 않는다는 계곡을 끼고 있고 알맞을 만큼의 농토도 있어 세상을 등져야 할 사연을 가진 이들이 정착하기에 최적의 장소였던 것이다.

아침가리골은 예전에 좁은 임도 수준의 군사도로로서 지금은 사용되지 않는 도로이기에 모든 (새마을) 다리는 수해에 무너지고 망가졌으며 복구는 전혀 안되고 있는 실정이기에 트레킹 또는 자전거 & 특수 개조한 오프로드 차량만이 통행이 가능한 곳이다.
