Insider tips

Combine your visit with a hike into the nearby Songnisan National Park trails.

Bring comfortable walking shoes to navigate the gravel and paved paths throughout the grove.

Check the local weather forecast, as the park is entirely outdoors and lacks significant shelter during inclement weather.
