About

Ulsanbawi Rock, a famous attraction of Seoraksan, consists of a total of 6 peaks and is a magnificent granite body reaching about 4 km in circumference. The appearance of the bizarre rocks standing like a folding screen and their scale evoke admiration from those who see it. If you climb to the top, you can take in the East Sea and the entire Sokcho city area at a glance, along with the outstanding views of Seoraksan such as Daecheongbong Peak and Hwachae Ridge.

Various stories are handed down regarding the name Ulsanbawi Rock, including the legend that it was on its way to Mt. Geumgang but ended up staying at Seoraksan, as well as theories that the rock looks like a fence, and that the sound of the wind rings out. In particular, the scenery viewed from Misiryeong Yetgil is spectacular, and it adds cultural value as there are historic temples such as Sinheungsa and Gyejoam Hermitage below.
