Insider tips

Bring a light jacket even in summer due to the high altitude and mountain breeze.

Ensure your camera or phone is fully charged, as the expansive mountain scenery requires significant photo space.

Check the Jeongseon Infrastructure Management Corporation website beforehand if you intend to purchase or bury a time capsule.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to walk to the park from the base of the mountain, as it is a steep, long-distance incline meant for vehicular traffic.

Etiquette
