Seoraksan National Park
Seorak Mountain in Gangwan Province is one of Koreas most scenic
areas and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The Seoraksan National Park
is home to South Korea's third highest peak, which visitors can
climb by means of one of a variety of trails up the mountain, or
for the less physically inclined there is a cable car that runs
some of the way up the mountain. The most popular time to visit
Seoraksan is during Autumn when the surrounding foliage creates a
visual feast with the different trees' leaves changing from green
to auburn, red, yellow, brown, and gold before dropping their
leaves. Seoraksan is best accessed from the small seaside city of
Sokcho on Korea's east coast.

Money
South Korea's monetary unit is the won (KRW). Currency can be

cashed at authorised banks and hotels. Most merchants in the cities
accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express credit cards, but
Koreans traditionally prefer cash. ATMs at banks are usually
accessible only during banking hours, and instructions on the
machines are generally only in Korean. Public ATMs at convenience
stores and subway stations are generally available 24 hours. US
Dollars are an accepted form of foreign currency and can be used as
US Dollars in the areas around the American Military bases in South
Korea.
