04.13.2013 Bukhansan National Park 1

                             I'd like to introduce Bukhansan National Park,

                            which is located in Seoul, South Korea.

             

                              It is the most popular place among the people

                            who is living in Seoul. Every weekend many people

                            ( it is impossible to count them) go there for

                            exercise and rest.

                    

                     
                                   Today, I climbed up to a small peak out of many,
                                  named Jokdooribong, which is 321 meter high.
                   

                                   As I stepped in," the messenger of Spring"
                                  Korean Azaleas greeted me.

                                Flower Forsythia, it is the representative of Spring
                                as well along with Korean Azaleas in Korea.

                                       How cute the budding flowers are!!

                                 

                                   The path leads to Jokdooribong is a little bit rough.
                                  While taking a short break time, I took pictures
                                  of scenes below.

                                  Pine trees alongside the path. Many Koreans
                                 like pine trees. it is always green all year long.
                                 Keeping green a year round seems like constancy to us.
                                 That's why we like it.

                                   On the way up, I reached a big, flat rock.
                                  Lots of houses were caught in my sight.
                                  About 10 millions people  are living in Seoul, the
                                  Capital city of Korea.

                                   Finally, I got to the peak named Jokdooribong.
                                  Little bit heavy wind blew from every direction.
                                  You might be falling off if you aren't careful.

                                 The other peaks, looking across from this one.

                                  There is a shelter built on a cliff right under my feet.
                                 How can people get there? Is there any secret road?

                                                         First-aid kit

                                   I went back down to the ground through another
                                  way, There was a new, easy road made for children
                                  and seniors.
